Some of the best pictures from day one of the Sydney cricket Test match.
The Sydney Cricket Ground was a sea of different colours on the first day of the fourth and final Test between India and Australia. As usual Australian and Indian fans turned up in huge numbers with the colours of their teams to support their side. The SCG match is traditional 'Pink Test' which aims to lend support to former speedster Glenn McGrath's foundation in the fight against Breast Cancer. Players of both teams sported the colour pink to support the cause. Indian captain Virat Kohli displayed pink colour on his gloves, pads and shoes, while also wielding a specially-made bat which too had a pink sticker and grip on it.
