Unlike batting great Sunil Gavaskar, who completed the ritual in front of near packed house in January when Virat Kohli’s boys took on England in January, Sehwag and Goswami had a motley crowd in front of them during the brief ceremony. (IND v AUS live scores)

The ringing of the bell ritual was introduced at the Lord’s Cricket Ground in 2007 and has since been adopted at Eden Gardens too.

India currently lead the five-match series 1-0.
