Australia vs India, 2018-19: 3 things you might have missed from day 1 of the first Test

#2 Nathan Lyon conceded 200 sixes in Test matches

Nathan Lyon is the first to achieve this feat in Test Cricket

Nathan Lyon was a successful bowler today. He bowled the most overs today (28) and scalped the wickets of Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant while conceding 83 runs.

However, in this process, he achieved a feat he would not have wanted. He became the first bowler to concede 200 sixes in Test Cricket. Second and third on the list are Sri Lankan spinners Muralitharan (195) and Rangana Herath (194) respectively.

#1 Pujara reached 5000 Test runs

Pujara achieved the feat in 108 innings

It was indeed a special hundred from Pujara that has more or less inspired some fightback from the Indian Team. In a counter-attacking century, Pujara soaked all the pressure and in the process racked up his 16th Test ton.

Pujara's innings was marked by calm temperament and determination that the world knows him for. He did not hurry to play his shots. He propelled India to some respectable total and was dismissed run-out at the stroke of stumps.

His 246-ball 123 is the most runs scored by a subcontinent batsman in the opening day of a Test in Australia.

His 16th Test century happens to be the first in the Australian soil. With his 16th century, he has now equalled the record of Sourav Ganguly who also has 16 Test centuries to his name. He racked up 5000 Test runs when he was batting at 95.
