While Rohit was out of the field, ‘Ya’ took over the captaincy, giving the ball in Akshar’s hands and rushing Khwaja into the tent.

The fourth and final Test match between India and Australia is being played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. In this Test, the Australian team won the toss and decided to bat. This time the Australian team managed to cross the 400 run mark for the first time in this series. Usman Khawaja did the lion’s share of Australia’s big runs. He scored 180 runs while facing 422 balls. He also hit 21 boundaries while making these runs. Even so, the captain in charge had a hand in dismissing him. Let’s find out how.

Usman Khawaja, who came to open the innings of the Australian team, batted till the sixth session. He was batting in good rhythm in this match and was ruffling the feathers of the Indian bowling. Seven wickets fell on the other side, but Khawaja held on. Rohit Sharma tried all his strategies but could not dismiss Khawaja. Meanwhile, Rohit returned to the field shortly after tea. This time, in his absence, the responsibility of leadership fell on the shoulders of Cheteshwar Pujara. Pujara asked Axar Patel to bowl.

This time, Akshar hit the very first ball of the 147th over on Khawaja’s legs. The umpires gave it not out this time, but Pujara immediately took a review. As seen in the replay, Pujara was out. Thus, in Rohit’s absence, Pujara took India’s wicket. After this, Australia’s lower order batsmen came to the crease. However, they could not score more runs. This time Australia’s innings ended on 480 runs.

Axar Patel strikes!
