This is a courageous knock from Ajinkya. The supporters of Test cricket have waited for a long time to witness such a knock. It's even more commendable because the team had collapsed for a mere 36 runs in their last outing, so this knock will boost every Indian player's confidence going forward. To be a good captain, you must have self-belief and Ajinkya's calm and composed nature has helped him excel. This was an acid test for any captain, and Ajinkya has passed with flying colours.
