6 Things you missed - From Ricky Ponting in disguise to Aussies obstructing Pujara's celebration

12/06/2018

It was surely not a desirable start for India but still, India managed to put up a decent score with Pujara scoring a century. We know it's difficult to follow a 5-day Test in Australia and also we are sure that you must've missed these 6 things even if you have watched the entire show of Day 1.

Is it Ricky Ponting in disguise?

Usman Khawaja pulled off a Ricky Ponting as he took a brilliant one-handed catch to send Virat Kohli back to the pavilion. Virat Kohli could just score 3 runs before he handed the catch to Khawaja at gully.

Only Rahane can interpret!

Pujara had some problem in his eyes and it was Rahane on the non-striker's end who asked him about the issue. And what Pujara said was only understandable to Ajinkya Rahane.

Confused umpire!!

It was a good attempt by Marcus Harris who tried to save 6 runs for his team, but he just missed it by milliseconds. Even after getting a signal from TV Umpire and having a look on mega-screen, the umpire took a while to give his decision.

Looks like Starc is really enjoying it

Mitchell Starc bowled two lethal deliveries to Rishabh Pant for which the youngster had nothing to reply. Starc gave a quirky smile and there was some exchange of words between the two.

Even this didn’t work for Rahane!!

Ajinkya Rahane as playing with a bat on which Rahul Dravid had given his autograph. But this blessing from a legend also didn't work for Rahane as he threw his wicket quite early in the innings. Rahul Dravid must be very disappointed with Rahane after his dismissal.

Australia obstructs Pujara’s celebration

When 4 top-order players gave their wickets cheaply, he stood there firmly and scored a century to reach a milestone of 5000 runs!! But, just when Pujara started celebrating he got distracted by the fielder who was throwing a ball towards the wicket-keeper.
