4th Test, Day 1: Usman Khawaja Hits Fifty, Unbeaten Partnership With Steve Smith Frustrates India
Left-handed opener Usman Khawaja hit his third fifty in the series and stitched an unbeaten 77-run stand with Steve Smith as Australia reached 149/2 in 62 overs against India at tea on the opening day of the fourth Test at Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday.
In what was the first wicketless session of the series, Khawaja read the conditions well, which were batter-friendly and capitalised on loose deliveries. Like Ravindra Jadeja bowled down the leg and Khawaja was quick to paddle through fine leg for four. When the left-arm spinner pitched it short, Khawaja was quick to rock back and pull for four more.
