RAHANE, JADEJA MAY HAVE TAKEN GAME AWAY: SACHIN

MELBOURNE: In a series of tweets, Sachin Tendulkar, 47, praised Ajinkya Rahane’s captaincy and the efforts of the bowlers and debutant Shubman Gill. “Two good days for India in the 2nd Test. @Jaspritbumrah93, @ashwinravi99 & Mohammed Siraj bowled really well and continued to keep the pressure on to restrict Australia to a low total. Well done by the stand-in captain Ajinkya, who made some real smart bowling changes coupled…with good field placements,” Tendulkar tweeted. “@RealShubmanGill got off to a good start on debut with some good shots and looked comfortable at the crease. @ajinkyarahane88 and @imjadeja have stitched a very crucial partnership which may just take the game away from Australia. Last but not least, fantastic knock by @ajinkyarahane88 who not only looked solid in his defence but was also looking to play attacking shots. He kept the momentum going really well,” said Tendulkar.
