Rahul's route to his fifty wasn't the smoothest of journeys as he had to deal with some terrific bowling and 'unhappy' opposition skipper too.


While batting on 40, the Indian opener didn't offer a shot to one of Nathan Lyon's deliveries. He, however, was a little late in withdrawing himself from the stance and as the ball went on to hit the stumps, Aussie skipper Steve Smith wasn't too pleased with the batsman's late call.

Smith, who seemed irked with the incident, produced a beautiful attempt to dismiss the Karnataka-born batsman at 51.


At the end of Day 3, India reached 213/4 and take a sizeable 126-run second innings lead at stumps on the third day of the second cricket Test against Australia at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
