    The 20-year-old, on his first tour of India, had scores of 68 and 31 despite suffering from upset stomach and dizziness which required medical attention. 

    “First Test match in India, India probably didn’t expect that. We have never seen him (Renshaw) play in these conditions as well, so we know how he can play and that’s the good thing about this game. When you have fresh people in the team, you don’t know what they are capable of as well and it adds another string to your bow,” Warner said. 

    “He (Renshaw) played fantastic. It could have been a different story if he stayed out there or he didn’t come off (in first innings) but the way he played and the way he adapted from coming off, being sick and going back out there was credit to him.” Warner cautioned that India will come back hard at the Australians in the remaining three matches. 

    “They (India) are the No 1 Test team in the world. They are a great bunch of players and we know what to expect. We saw all the tricks in Pune — their bowling changes, their fielding placements, the way they play as a number one team so for us to beat them on home soil was awesome and fantastic. 

    “But we know they’re going to come back harder and we’ve just got to adapt to the conditions again with what we facehere in (Bengaluru),” he added.
