Australia, who were trailing by 91 runs after India posted 571 in response to visitors’ 480, produced a solid batting performance to ensure a first draw of the series.
When it became certain that the result in the match was highly unlikely, India skipper Rohit Sharma brought the part time spinners in Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara to reach the stage where a draw can be called.
Ravichandran Ashwin, who ended the series with highest tally of 25 wickets, took to Twitter to share an image of Pujara in which he was seen prepping up for his over and hilariously captioned an image ‘Main kya karu? Job chod du?.’
