If India were able to claim a 192-run lead against Australia in the first innings, it was largely due to skipper MS Dhoni’s magnificent double century (224) and partly due to stiff resistance shown by tailender Bhuvneshwar Kumar.u00a0

The duo stitched together a record 140-run for the ninth wicket. Bhuvneshwar then joined hands with last man Ishant Sharma to add another 26 runs to take the total to 572.
