Twitter reacts to Goofy Gaffaney's out-not out and Pujara's "marathon"

It was a day to remember for Indians as Pujara and Saha virtually played out the whole day and tired out the Australian bowlers. Pujara broke Dravid's record of most balls faced by an Indian in Tests and also became the first Indian to face 500 balls in a single innings in Test cricket.

India ended the day with the upper hand as Australia lost the wickets of David Warner and Nathan Lyon after conceding the first innings lead to India. Riding on a brilliant Pujara-Saha partnership, India managed to score 603/9 before Virat Kohli decided to send the Australians into bat again.

Brief scores: Australia 451/10 (Steve Smith 178*, Glenn Maxwell 104; Ravindra Jadeja 5/124) & 23/2 (D Warner 14, M Renshaw 7*; R Jadeja 2/6) trail India 603/9 decl (C Pujara 202, W Saha 117; Pat Cummins 4/106) by 129 runs.

Smooth!

This is why people love twitter!

Always!

Perspective!

#JustPujaraThings!

Well put!

In between Saha's 100 and Pujara's 200 we forgot to applaud Lyon's milestone! *Claps*

Pujara=New Wall?

It was like watching a young Dravid bat!

Pujara will fit in well in the new Jio ad!

Every human body has certain natural limitations depending upon its shape and size -- for instance, a 6 foot 4 inch giant cannot take off at will in a split second and go flying to his side. Well, Jack Edwards certainly does not believe in any of that, as was evident during the BBL Qualifier.
