Test debutants T Natarajan and Washington Sundar added to their tally on Day 2, registering crucial wickets for India. Sundar took the wickets of Cameron Green and Nathan Lyon. Natarajan cleaned up Josh Hazlewood to end Australia’s innings. Natarajan, Sundar and Thakur all picked up three wickets apiece while Mohammed Siraj accounted for one wicket.
