With Shikhar Dhawan getting injured in the field, India were already one batsman short and the wicket of KL Rahul meant that had Australia got another one out of either Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli out, they would have had a crack at the inexperienced middle-order.
Keeping that in mind, the two Indian batting stalwarts took calculated risks and added 137 runs for the second wicket, absorbing all the pressure and bringing in all the experience they had of being at the top of their game for so many years.
