On Day, Karthik was quoted on Indian Express, "Ravi Bhai, would you have gone with Kuldeep Yadav."

However, Shastri backed Axar's selection, although he has found it hard to get wickets in this match. "Very early. But if it wouldn’t have been for Axar’s batting, this series would’ve looked a lot different. India wanted strength in their batting and they got it. Had it not been for his innings in Delhi, India wouldn’t have been able to be 2-0. And his innings in Nagpur", he said.

"You couldn’t have used him previously (in the series). Because the ball was turning. Then Ashwin and Jadeja become your primary bowlers. But here, you need him. And he’s done the containing job well", he added.

Ashwin sealed his 32nd five-wicket haul on Day 2, taking six overall. He overtook Kumble's record for the most five-wicket-hauls by an India bowler at home (25) – this being his 26th. Ashwin did it while playing his 55th Test at home (92nd overall), eight quicker than Kumble, who did it in his 63rd Test on Indian soil.

Green smacked his maiden Test ton and eventually dismissed by Ashwin. Seaking after the match, Ashwin said, "Even while bowling to Green, I felt he was playing a lot besides the line for everything and the wicket wasn't true enough for him to play against the spin constantly, it was an idea to shut him down as his head falls over a lot more. That was the plan, but not necessarily the way you want to get him out. However, it did pan out."

"Those things also need to go your way, and if you compare that with Nathan Lyon top edging one over fine leg in Delhi, and that’s the difference between ending up with a three or six. It’s as minute as that. Sometimes the numbers speak easily for the bowler and I felt completely happy in my own cocoon about how the ball has been coming out of my hand," he further added.

Ashwin took six wickets and after the match said, "You can go to bed feeling a lot better instead of having just three wickets in your kitty. It does feel good as you end up with a good bag of wickets, even if you don’t bowl sometimes, you feel good about it. I will go to bed tonight a bit early and also a bit happier."

In 4* marches, Rohit has scored 224 runs, with a highscore of 120 from the first Test. He has also smacked 25 fours and four sixes. The India captain will be aiming to replicate Khawaja!

Ashwin took six wickets on Day 2, removing Green, Carey, Starc, Lyon and Murphy. On Day 1, he had removed Head. Fantastic fightback by the veteran! He bowled 47.2 overs and conceded 91, with 15 maidens,

Khawaja was brilliant during the Aussie innings, as he ended the day unbeaten on 104. In the morning of Day 2, Khawaja continued from where he left as he eventually reached his 150, and as soon as the Australian opener played his 393rd ball of the innings, Khawaja registered himself in the record books. The 36-year-old batter made the record for most balls faced in a single innings by an Australian batter on Indian soil, going past former Australian batter Graham Yallop, who had recorded the feat in 1979 during a Test at the Eden Gardens. En route the same knock, Khawaja also went past fellow teammate and captain Steve Smith, as well as former skipper Allan Border.

Khawaja was eventually dismissed in the post-Tea session, registering 180 off 422 balls.
