I don’t believe in superstitions; I stretched a little in the morning and was ready to go. There was a lot of emotion in that. Getting a hundred has been a long journey. As an Australian, you want to do that all the time. It’s one-of-a-kind.
Travis Head snatched the new ball. He was smacking them in the face. It was fun to watch from the other side. I didn’t want to give my wicket away because it was such a nice wicket, he added.
At stumps, Australia was 255 for four. At the end of the game, opener Khawaja and Cameron Green had batting averages of 104 and 49, respectively. Australia got off to a good start after skipper Steve Smith chose to bat, with Khawaja and Travis Head adding 61 runs for the first wicket.
R Ashwin’s dismissal of Head for 32 gave India their first breakthrough. Mohammed Shami bowled Marnus Labuschagne (3) and Peter Handscomb (17) with two beautiful deliveries in between Smith’s dismissal by Ravindra Jadeja.
India currently leads the series 2-1.
‘Forget the high five, give me a hug,’ Usman Khawaja tells Cameron Green after scoring a century in the fourth Test.
