After opting to bat first, India started the game to a dismal start with both the openers Shubman Gill and Prithvi Shaw departing for ducks.  The team was struggling at 6/2 in the third over itself and the team found themselves in trouble after Hanuman Vihari was also not able to score runs after his watchful start. However, Rahane and Pujara, both the cricketers kept the Aussies at bay after seizing the momentum. Umesh Yadav also played a cameo of quickfire 24.

Here, check out the reactions of Twitterati on this:

The century for @ajinkyarahane88 bodes well. Important that him and @cheteshwar1 got a lot of time in the middle. Keen to see the openers get runs in the 2nd innings.

34th century in first-class cricket for Ajinkya Rahane but his first while playing as a captain. #AUSAvINDA

A century for Ajinkya Rahane, a reminder for Australian fans that India bat a lot deeper than Kohli and Pujara.

Hundred for Ajinkya Rahane in the first practice game. What a wonderful knock he’s played, handled James Pattinson really well, really amazing to see him scoring runs. Hopefully the form continues against the main pace attack also in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. pic.twitter.com/KHLthpGJx0

Here’s some fun with numbers ….

At this very point – with @ajinkyarahane88 on 107* in the warm-up match against Australia A …

Ajinkya Rahane (at 107* in his 146th FC match): 10988 runs, 34 x 100s
Sunil Gavaskar (after his 146th FC Match): 10988 runs, 32 x 100s

Top innings and an important one for Ajinkya . Glad , can see the side game .#AUSAvIND

@ajinkyarahane88 scores a century. @cheteshwar1 played a 140 ball 54, but the most bothering thing is no full time batsman apart from these two could spend time in the middle. Gill and Shaw went for ducks. Too much of work to do for the Indian think tank. #AUSvIND
