Aus vs Ind, 2nd Test: India In Driving Seat After Rahane's Half-Century

By AFP News December 27, 2020 • 10:18 AM View: 1998

Stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane hit a gritty half-century as India closed within six runs of Australia's first innings 195 to seize the advantage at tea on day two of the second Test in Melbourne Sunday.

It was a determined and methodical knock by the mild-mannered Rahane, who is leading the team after Virat Kohli returned home for the birth of his first child.
