The captain of India now averages 75.2 in home games. Rohit’s average is the second-best among players who have played in 20 or more home innings of cricket, trailing only Sir Don Bradman.

Over the first two days of the series opener, there were few indications that the surface, which Cummins described as “custom-made” for India’s spinners, had any demons in it.

Former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer tweeted: “Everyone thought pitch was spitting cobras but as always, Rohit made it look like a belter. Batted.”

Murphy said after the day’s play: “I think the wicket’s holding together quite well … there’s nothing that’s happening out of the blue.”

Irfan Pathan also made a pointed observation regarding the pitch.

When preparing the pitch for the game, the Nagpur curators raised questions by choosing not to water the region on a good length outside off stump for left-handed batters. During the second innings, Jadeja and Patel both reached fifty. While Australia’s lefties scored 1, 1, 0, 36, and 0.
