India and Australia are taking on each other in the fourth Test match at The Gabba in Brisbane. Just when we thought that Indian innings would collapse once again after the departure of Ajinkya Rahane, Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur stood tall. Both the batsmen completed half-centuries and stabilised the batting order. Thakur scored 67 runs whereas, Washington Sundar made 60 runs. The netizens hailed the duo for their stunning partnership. Virat Kohli and Virender Sehwag also joined the bandwagon to praise the duo. The Indians chased a total of 369 runs and at the time of writing the story, both the batsmen had made way to the pavilion and the visitors had lost eight wickets.

Josh Hazlewood ended up scalping four wickets. Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins were the ones who scalped a couple of wickets. It would be interesting to see if they can complete the lead.
