Sydney: India declared at a massive 622 for seven in their first innings after centuries from Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant. Pant was not out on 159, the second of his career, to pile more pressure on Australia on day two of the fourth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) today before India declared for 622/7. The 21-year-old left-hander smashed eight boundaries in his composed 137-ball knock, building on 193 from Cheteshwar Pujara to steer India to 622 for seven in the final session of the day. Pant's ton came from a four off spinner Marnus Labuschagne and became the first Indian Wicket Keeper to score a Test century in Australia.
Pant also became the only second visiting wicket-keeper to register Test centuries both in England and Australia. Jeffery Dujon, with hundreds in Manchester and Perth in 1984, was the first.
