A rookie teen cleans the best drummer in the world

Five of India's top six drummers have compiled half a century, but none has gained more than 66% while tourists have finished playing in a reasonably strong position.

Kohli, No. 4, was a clbad above his opponents and never really seemed to be fired before throwing a ball back into the hands of 19-year-old Paceman. , Aaron Hardie, 64 years old.

Few bowlers in the world of cricket have the distinction of sending Kohli alone, but the fact that Hardie has never played a first-clbad match is even more remarkable.

Last year, however, the West Australian also sacked the English duo Joe Root and James Vince during a tour match.

Hardie finished with 4-50 on 13 overs on Thursday and took three of the last four wickets.

"It was an incredible feeling," said Hardie. "Everything happened very quickly because it's [Kohli] I snapped a little around the park and then the next minute he hit me one. It was a great feeling.

"It's a world-clbad drummer and the best drummer in the world probably right now, it was certainly a challenge to take up, there was no room for error."

A big six on the ground was Kohli's nail; one of which he will not be satisfied because he was ready and he hit the ball well.

Kohli will know it, especially on a field that could be the most delicate that the Indian maestro will have to face all summer.

Meanwhile, the Australians had a first glimpse of the first Indian game, Prithvi Shaw, aged 19, and the first signs are promising for the early right-hander, who scored 66 of 69 balls.

The skeptics will see Shaw's heats as somewhat frivolous given the bowlers he has faced, but it's his strong technique and clean shot that have been most impressive.

Shaw had already scored 546 years in 2013, at the age of 14, and has had first-clbad debut and testing for centuries. It is no wonder that it is spoken in the same vein as Sachin Tendulkar.

Although he was a bit off the outside of the stump, Shaw was bullish with his back foot with a number of naked shots firing through a slow outside field.

He looked ready for three figures before NSW spinner Daniel Fallins produced a break in his leg to allow Shaw to lose balance around his legs.

"No matter what format he played, he immediately made his mark," said Bangar of Shaw. "He showed that he can very well adapt to the conditions, he plays with a lot of clarity."

Cheteshwar Pujara (54) and Hanuma Vihari (53) also failed to move to three figures, but helped their team to reach a good total.
