Aaron Finch provided a couple of scares for the Indian bowlers

Till Aaron Finch was at the crease, Australia looked powerful, menacing and threatening. As soon as he was dismissed, they shed their lion-skin to go from the threatening to the threatened.

That's how strong an impact Finch had on the game with his magnificent hundred in the first innings.

India suddenly did not have answers to the questions that he asked and the right-handed batsman continued to do what he does best, which is to take the bowlers to the cleaners! He scored a big knock of 124 in 125 deliveries. It was powered by 12 fours and 4 mammoth sixes.

He also stitched a 50-run stand with Warner and followed it up with a riveting 154-run partnership with his captain. It was his dismissal that led to Australia's unravelling, as the visitors could go up to just 293-6 in spite of cruising at 224-2 at one stage of the game.
