A double century from Cheteshwar Pujara and a century from Wriddhiman Saha helped India take control of the third Test against Australia at Ranchi on Sunday.
Heading into play on day four, it looked like the match was evenly poised, but a brilliant partnership from Pujara and Saha – which yielded 199 runs – gave India the upper hand.
Pujara batted on and on, facing 525 deliveries for his 202 [the longest ever Test innings by an Indian batsman in terms of balls faced]. This was the Saurashtra batsman’s third double ton in Test cricket and his second against Australia.
