IND Vs AUS 5th Test Day 2 In Pics: Rishabh Pant Turns Things Around But Game In Balance

Rishabh Pant's fearless approach once again rescued India from a tricky position as the 5th and final Test between India and Australia stood in balance at the end of the second day. The third day will most likely be the final one after a fast paced display by both teams on Saturday. India bowled out Australia for 181 to take a four-run lead. India lost their top four cheaply before Pant put on exhibition of attacking batting on a tough pitch. Pant slammed 66 off just 31 balls and at the end of day, India were ahead by 145 runs with four wickets left.
