India took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 4-match Test series against Australia on Sunday. Chetershwar Pujara, playing his 100th Test match stood tall for India, scoring a 74-ball 31, as Australia managed to get 4 timely wickets to trouble the hosts momentarily. Earlier in the day, Ravindra Jadeja picked 7 wickets for 42 runs with Ravichandran Ashwin claiming the remaining 3 scalps for 59 runs. Australia did not have a lot of runs on the board, scoring 113 in the second innings, setting India the target of 115 runs, with a 1-run lead. India captain Rohit Sharma took the aggressive approach on a difficult Delhi wicket, scoring a 20-ball 31 before being run out. Virat Kohli, too, assisted with 20 runs before being stumped off Todd Murphy. Srikar Bharat played the perfect support role for Pujara hitting 3 fours and a six, easing the pressure of the 100-match veteran. Deservedly, Pujara finished the match by stepping out and hitting a delivery for four over mid-on off Murphy.
