Normal services restored. That’s what can be said about the first day’s play at the Narendra Modi Stadium here. After the bloodbaths in the first three Test matches, each of which barely lasted two and a half days, a semblance of normalcy was seen in Test cricket. The way the Australians batted gives rise to hope that a match in this series may finally go into the fourth day.
Much of the credit goes to opener Usman Khawaja, who stonewalled the Indian bowling with solid defence. He was the only batsman who looked assured be it on the front or back foot. Most of the batsmen who perished on Thursday were caught on the back foot, but Khawaja was so confident that getting him out looked nigh-impossible. He took all of 90 overs to get to his 14th Test century, his first against India.
