This was a day that Cheteshwar Pujara will never forget. (Twittersphere rejoices at Pujara and Saha’s heroics against Australia ) He became the first Indian to face 500 balls in a single innings on the way to completing a splendid double century against Australia in the Third Test match in Ranchi.

He was ably supported by Wriddhiman Saha who notched up his third Test century to put India back in control of the Test match. (Twittersphere rejoices at Pujara and Saha’s heroics against Australia )

Session goes to 🇮🇳. Very well played Saha & Pujara. Australia now under some pressure to bat well in the 2nd innings.

Pujara's innings is everything I hate about test cricket, but even so, the sheer bloody-minded grittiness of it is awe-inspiring.
