Superb batting by Cheteshwar Pujara and Wriddhiman Saha coupled with excellent bowling by Ravindra Jadeja put India in a strong position on the fourth day of the third cricket Test against Australia here on Sunday.
Pujara scored a double-century and Saha notched up a ton as the duo produced a partnership of 199 runs to enable India declare their first innings at 603/9 for a lead of 152 runs.
Australia had scored 451 in their first innings.
Jadeja then claimed the wickets of David and Nathan Lyon as Australia struggled to 23/2 in their second innings at the end of the day's play.
