The second session saw India lose two quick wickets, with Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav falling to Todd Murphy and Nathan Lyon, respectively. However, Rohit Sharma seemed unperturbed by the dismissals and went on to score his century. Earlier in the day, Ravichandran Ashwin and Rohit had ensured that India maintained their advantage from Day 1. Ashwin also became the second Indian bowler after Anil Kumble to surpass 450 Test wickets.
