However, it wasn’t the start that was expected for the Indian debutants as they failed to make a mark with the bat. But wicketkeeper-batter KS Bharat definitely had his maiden Test stumping as he was quick to hit the bails of Marnus Labuschagne.

As the game progresses, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has released an unseen footage of Head Coach Rahul Dravid’s speech. While Suryakumar Yadav received his cap from former head coach Ravi Shastri who also heaped praise of his form, Bharat received his from Cheteshwar Pujara. But ahead of this, Rahul Dravid had some words for the two debutants.
“Always a special day when a couple of more boys join our family. It’s obliviously a huge dream come true for millions of people. And there haven’t been many people who had the pleasure and privilege of having a Test cap and playing Test cricket for India,” Dravid said while welcoming the two.
