India vs Australia: Steve Waugh's son, Austin, gets special call-up for Sydney Test, see pic

Fifteen years after Aussie legend Steve Waugh's emotional farewell match at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), his presence was once again felt when hosts took on India in the fourth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar series at the same venue on Thursday. 

The former Test captain’s son, Austin, is in the stadium with the Australian team and could feature for them. Although he was not part of the XI but he was named as one of the side's four substitute fielders.

That could see the 19-year-old all-rounder at some point take to the field in order to give rest to one of the Aussie fast bowlers.

Cheteshwar Pujara and Mayank Agarwal put on 59 runs for the unbroken second wicket as India reached 69 for 1 at lunch on day one of the fourth and final Test against Australia.

At the SCG, Agarwal was unbeaten on 42 runs, while Pujara was batting on 16 not out at the end of 24-over morning session.

This was after India won the toss and opted to bat. Senior off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin did not pass the fitness test this morning and was ruled out of the match. 

The visitors then made two changes, with Lokesh Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav coming in for Rohit Sharma and Ishant Sharma.

Australia too made two changes with Peter Handscomb and Marnus Labuschagne replacing Aaron Finch and Mitchell Marsh.
