Australia delivered a dominant performance on Day 2 of the IND vs AUS 4th Test, with Steve Smith notching up another century against India. Along with the tail-enders, Smith frustrated the Indian bowlers as Australia amassed a huge 474 in their first innings.
In response, India faced early setbacks with the dismissals of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul. However, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli revived the innings with a solid partnership.
The pair added over 100 runs for the third wicket, briefly frustrating the Australian bowlers. Yet, a run-out dismissal of Jaiswal shifted momentum, and soon Kohli followed him back. India ended the day at 164/5, having lost three quick wickets.
