It was just the kind of debut Will Pucovski was hoping for as the young Australian opener cherished incredible experience on Day One of the third Test during which he found Indian off-spinner R Ashwin the most unique bowler to face, here on Thursday.

Pucovski, 22, hit an impressive 62 after missing the first two Tests of the series due to concussion-related issues. He was hit on the head during the warm-up game ahead of the series-opener.
