India started the match well , picking Warner for 0. But then Australia went on to put 259 runs for the loss of 5 wickets. India did miss a chance in the slips and have a lot to ponder over in this department. Here are the twitter reactions of the day’s play.

The good news for KL Rahul is that following Rohit Sharma is like coming on stage after a One Direction cover band.
