India vs Australia: Why two new Australian batsman came to the crease after Virat Kohli & Co dismissed David Warner?

India vs Australia - For the first time in history of Test cricket, two new batsmen were at the crease after the fall of one wicket.

Pune: Fan got to see something very rare on Day 1 of the first Test match between India and Australia at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. After Australia lost their first wicket, of David Warner, two new Australian batsmen came at the crease.

Fans as well as experts were left surprised when Shaun Marsh joined skipper Steve Smith at the crease after Australia's lost Warner's wicket in the 28th over of the innings.

It was soon realised that Matthew Renshaw, who was unbeaten on 36, immediately left the field after Warner's dismissal post the umpire's permission. The left hander was looking good during his stay at the crease, but went back to the dressing room due to a stomach bug.

Before being dismissed, Warner added an 82-run opening stand with his opener.

After the two left-handers were back in the pavilion, skipper Smith batted sensibly with Shaun Marsh and added 37 runs for the second-wicket partnership before the latter was dismissed by Jayant Yadav.

The Australian batsman looked in total control of the proceedings on a pitch which looked tailor-made for the spinners.

At the end of 51 overs, Australians were 120/2 with Smith (23*) and Peter Handscomb (8) at crease.
