- Peter Handscomb and Shaun Marsh Marathon Partnership:
It is easy to say play dot after dots and equally simple to claim see-off the session; hour after hour that particularly on a wicket which has something on an offer for the spinners and equally the seamers.
Australian batsmen did make it one of the memorable moments during the series by showing grit and resilience against India on the final day of the Ranchi Test.
After Steven Smith racked up 178 in the first innings to post 451 on board, the visitors were reeling at 63 for four in 29.1 overs, when left-handed batsman Shaun Marsh and Peter Handscomb set the brilliant 124-run partnership for the fifth wicket.
Marsh scored 53 in 197 balls while spending 236 minutes at the crease followed by Handscomb, who had scored 72 off 200 balls after spending 261 minutes at the crease.
Such was the control of both the batsmen to set on the best plot for the team, as Kohli was seen marshalling his troops over after another before the game was declared drawn.
