These number 10 and number 11 batsmen of Team India played brilliantly for the last wicket and also hit sixes against Australia. With this, for the first time in a Test, Indian batsmen at number 10 and number 11 hit sixes against Australia. This feat has happened for the first time in 77 years of history. The first Test series between the two countries took place in 1947. But from then till now this had never happened.
