IND vs AUS, 3rd Test:  the match ends in a draw

January 11 will forever be engraved in our mind. Today India managed to draw the third Test match against Australia, with a resilient performance on Day 5, at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). India scored 334 runs for five wickets on Day 5 to defy the Australians. Trailing by 309 runs at the beginning of Day 5, the visitors lost Ajinkya Rahane early on to a Nathan Lyon delivery. The stand-in captain could only muster four runs. But Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant had other plans, counterattacking the Aussie bowlers. Pujara registered 77 runs off 205 balls, hitting 12 fours. Meanwhile, Pant slammed 97 from 118 deliveries, which consisted of 12 fours and three sixes. The duo's contribution helped India stage a turnaround, and at one point looked set for an improbable win. But Pujara and Pant fell as India's hopes faded again. Hanuma Vihari and Ravichandran Ashwin batted for more than three hours, despite the former suffering a hamstring injury.

Vihari remained unbeaten after scoring 23 runs off 161 balls while veteran spinner Ashwin showed his experience with an unbeaten 39-run knock of 128 balls to take India to a memorable draw. Josh Hazlewood put in a noteworthy display for Australia, registering two dismissals. Meanwhile, Lyon also scalped two wickets.

For the unversed, the four-match Test series is currently level at 1-1, with the final match set to begin from January 15

Virat on paternity leave

In December 2020, Captain Kohli had chosen to take paternity leave and fly back to India from Australia where Team India was playing. The 32-year-old cricketer had left after the team suffered a humiliating loss at the hosts' hands in Adelaide. Ajinkya Rahane had been entrusted to fill in Kohli's shoes, and under his captaincy, India won the second Test at Melbourne.

Virat took to Twitter to announce his Lil angel's arrival, and since then paparazzi, netizens,  fans, followers, fraternity and even us are unable to keep calm!

Virat on Twitter released a statement, which read: "We are thrilled to share with you that we have been blessed with a baby girl this afternoon. We thank you all for your love, prayers, and good wishes. Anushka and the baby are both healthy, and we are feeling beyond blessed to start this new chapter of our lives. We hope that you can respect our privacy at this time. Love, Virat."

Virat and Anushka's daughter's name to be decided by Baba Anant Maharaj.

As per sources, Baba Anant Maharaj will name the new-born daughter of Virat and Anushka.

Interestingly, this isn't the first time that Maharaja Anant's name has sprung up regarding a decision in Virat and Anushka's life. Both have given importance to Maharaja Anant's views and decisions in the past, whether related to their marriage's decision or purchasing a new house.

 And it is also Rahul Dravid's birthday!

Isn't it a landmark day in the history of sports!
