Australia batsman Matthew Wade showed good sportsmanship on the second day of the third Test against India. Wade's sweep shot hit Hanuma Vihari at the short leg and he was down in pain.

Vihari was at the firing line of Wade, who was going for sweep hits against left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja. It was the 75th over of Australia's innings when Vihari got hit on his fingers by the Aussie and India had to call the physio.

While physio returned back to the dressing room after checking on the Indian fielder, Wade gave a fist bump to Vihari. The gesture was appreciated by the viewers.

Not only once, but Vihari got hit at the forward short leg thrice by Wade before Jadeja dismissed him at a score of 13.

Here is the video:

Australia got bowled out on 338 in the first innings of the Sydney Test. It was a good effort from the Indian bowlers to come back in the game after Steve Smith (131) and Marnus Labuschange (91) piled up a partnership of 100 runs. Ravindra Jadeja was the pick of the bowlers with four wickets.
