On the third day of the Briston Test , Washington Sundar and Sardul Thakore performed amazingly on the Gabba pitch . When Rishabh Pant was dismissed for 186, it seemed that Bhariye would be reduced to a team soon but the pair of Sundar and Shardul brought India back into the match by flying the Australian pace attack.
123-run partnership between Sundar and Shardul
After 6 wickets for 186, both the batsmen hit open shots against the Australian bowlers. Washington Sundar and Shardul put together a 123-run partnership for the seventh wicket. With a partnership of 123 for the seventh wicket, Sundar and Shardul broke the 30-year-old record of Kapil Dev and Manoj Prabhakar.
Broke a 30 year old record
Kapil Dev and Manoj Prabhakar had earlier held the record for the largest partnership at Briston. In 1991, Kapil and Prabhakar shared a 58-run stand for the seventh wicket on the Gabba pitch. Then comes the third number Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Ravichandran Ashwin. He scored 57 for the seventh wicket in 2014.
Washington Sundar, playing his first Test, was included as an all-rounder playing XI and made his debut match memorable by scoring a half-century (67).
