Lokesh Rahul's 64 is his second highest score vs Australia next only to the 110 at Sydney in January 2015.

Rahul scored 60.95% of runs (64 out of 105) - the fourth highest by an Indian player and the third highest by any batsman against Australia.

Virat Kohli has registered his first duck as captain in International matches - Tests/ODIs/T20Is.

After recording a duck vs England in the Cardiff ODI on August 27, 2014, he was without a duck in 104 consecutive innings in International cricket.

Kohli's fifth duck in Tests is his second vs Australia - his first being at Melbourne in December 2011.
