Riding on the back of Sam Konstas’ 107 off 97 and Hanno Jacobs’ 61 off 60, the Prime Minister’s XI posted a total of 240 runs. The standout bowler for India was Harshit Rana, who conceded 44 runs in six overs and took four crucial wickets. In response, Indian openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal started cautiously, taking the score to 8/0 in five overs. However, Jaiswal switched gears and launched into an aggressive attack, hitting two consecutive boundaries off Jack Nisbet, leading to some tense moments.
After being hit for two fours, Nisbet came over the wicket and bowled a short delivery around the leg stump. The ball bounced too high as Jaiswal tried to duck, but it followed him, hitting his gloves as he attempted to get his bat on it. The ball lobbed up and fell short of backward point, and Jaiswal narrowly avoided injury. As Jaiswal stepped back, Nisbet stared at him and gestured provocatively, prompting the Indian opener to respond with some unmentionable words, clearly irritated. The incident quickly gained attention on social media, with fans discussing the intensity of the India-Australia rivalry.

Could be!
Jaiswal and Rahul opening the batting, signals that they will open in 2nd test too. And Rohit Sharma down the order. #PMXIvIND

India 30 for no loss in overs, Rahul solid, Jaiswal aggressive and streaky.
