In the defence of a paltry 75 on Day 3 morning of the Indore Test, India raised some hopes with veteran off-spinner R Ashwin claiming Australia opener Usman Khawaja’s wicket with the second delivery of the day.
However, the duo of Travis Head (49*) and Marnus Labuschagne (28*) ensured there were no more hiccups as they took the visitors over the line with nine wickets in hand.
Despite the loss, there was a certain part of that brief morning session on Friday (March 3) that caught the attention of Indian fans. One such moment was Shreyas Iyer sledging Travis Head, with stump mic catching the remark.
During the sixth over of Australia's chase, the Australian left-hander was getting ready to face Ravindra Jadeja and it was then Shreyas Iyer, who was stationed at short fine leg, said: “Iska ek pair Chandigarh mein, dusra Haryana mein (His one leg is in Chandigarh and other in Haryana)”.
