Kohli's dismissal triggered a controversy after Peter Handscomb took the catch at second slip off Pat Cummins' bowling and on-field umpires deferred to the third umpire with a soft signal of out.

Kohli's unbeaten 82 coupled with Ajinkya Rahane's counterattacking 51 helped India overcome the cheap dismissals of the openers.

Hanuma Vihari and Ishant Sharma were the picks of the bowlers for India by taking two wickets each on the first Day of Perth Test.

Indian bowlers have made a great start with 20 wickets on a slower deck in Adelaide to give India a 1-0 lead in the four-match series.

India fast bowler Bumrah has achieved a career-high ranking of 33rd, after his three for 47 and three for 68 at Adelaide helped him to rise five places.

Ashwin will obviously play a more crucial now role because with the rough, said Bumrah.

After folding Australia for 235, India steadily built their lead through Rahul (44), Kohli (34) and Pujara (40*) to stitch up a 166-run lead on Day 3 of the 1st Test in Adelaide.

Fleming, who has played a lot of limited overs and a few Test matches against India, like most of the pundits agreed that India never had such a potent pace attack. 

Kohli remained in pole position with 899 points while limited overs vice-captain Rohit Sharma remained second in the list.

Having sealed the series with a comprehensive win in the second T20I at Lucknow riding on skipper Rohit Sharma's brilliant ton, the home team would look to give reserve bench players an opportunity before it embarks on the tour of Australia.

Punjab seamer Siddarth Kaul was included in the squad for the final T20I to be held at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

Virat Kohli suggested that India's front line fast bowlers who are in fray for the next year's marquee event should be allowed to skip the IPL 2019.

Rohit smashed his fourth T20 century to power India to a commanding 195 for two after being asked to bat first.

When asked to predict which bowler from the current Indian lineup he thinks has the most chances of emulating his feat at next year's World Cup, Sharma chose the young sensation Bumrah.

He defended his pace colleague Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who had a bad in office as he leaked 70 runs in his 10 overs.

Kohli became the first Indian and 10th overall to score three successive hundreds in the One-day format but it could not prevent West Indies from tasting their first win of the tour. 

While Bhuvneshwar and Bumrah's comeback during the second phase was always on the cards, Law feels that it's batsmen who have forced the hosts to ring in changes.

The gritty visitors made a statement of sorts in Vizag, by denying the hosts a victory while the absence of Bhuvneshwar and Bumrah saw the Indian bowling being clobbered for 320 plus runs in both games.

The BCCI have announced the squad for the remaining three ODIs against Windies and 'death-over' specialists Bumrah and Bhuvnehswar make their return into the 15-man squad.
