India vs Australia: Shikhar Dhawan Hundred Was Brilliance At Its Best

This innings from Shikhar Dhawan will be talked about for a long time, make no mistake about that. The unstoppable 185, of which his hundred came off just 85 balls, a record of course, was breathtaking, dominating, awe-inspiring - you get the drift - and some more of the other adjectives that would be apt for such an occasion.

India vs Australia Third Test: Rain Plays Spoilsport as First Day is Washed Out

The much-anticipated first day of the Third Test between India and Australia turned out to be a bit of dampener, literally, with incessant rain leading to the opening day's play being called off. Australia were looking for a way back into the series, and would have liked to have a crack at the Indian batsman had they won the toss, which of course never occurred, with the cloudy skies sure to aid fast bowlers.

India vs Australia Third Test Preview: Confident Hosts Look to Clinch Series Against Depleted Aussies

In real life, kicking someone when they are down is not something that would endear yourself to the masses. In sport, however, rubbing salt into an already gaping wound is exactly what is expected from a team that is on top. That scenario will be on view when India host Australia for the third Test in Mohali, with the visitors' camp in complete and utter disarray following the banishment of four players for not doing their "homework."
