In what turned out to be his final Press Conference as India's Test captain, MS Dhoni had an interesting answer when he was asked about the difference in India and Australia's lower-order batsmen.

He said, "Now even PETA has said that you can't cosmetically remove the tail"

On Friday, it was the tail which came to India's rescue with the bat, as Ishant Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah stitched two critical stands with Pujara to help India take the lead. The duo added a combined total of 78 runs with Pujara as India recovered from 195 for 8 to post 273 runs in their first innings.
