Jasprit Bumrah, known for his stellar bowling performances, found himself addressing an unusual question about batting after Day 3 of the ongoing Brisbane Test. During the post-match interaction, a reporter twisted his query, implying Bumrah might not be the best person to assess India’s batting collapse.
However, Bumrah cheekily reminded the reporter of his record-breaking batting feat. He humorously said, “You should use Google and see who has got the most number of runs in a Test over,” referencing his 35-run blitz against Stuart Broad. Although the remark was light-hearted, it ensured everyone remembered his special achievement.
India’s Struggles Continue at the Gabba
India endured another difficult day in the series, finishing at 51 for four in response to Australia’s commanding first-innings total. The Aussie pace trio—Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins—capitalized on the testing Gabba conditions, dismantling India’s top order.
Only KL Rahul managed to offer some resistance, remaining unbeaten on 33 at stumps. Skipper Rohit Sharma, batting at number six, was yet to open his account before play was halted early due to bad light. This left India trailing by a massive 394 runs, with their batting unit under immense pressure.
Bumrah Shines Despite Team’s Troubles
Despite India’s struggles, Bumrah continued to shine as the standout bowler of the series. His consistency and ability to claim crucial wickets have kept India competitive, even as other Indian bowlers failed to make a similar impact.
Earlier in the day, Australia resumed their innings at 405 for seven, adding 40 more runs. Wicketkeeper Alex Carey’s valuable 70-run contribution helped the hosts extend their lead. Bumrah, with 18 wickets so far in the series, leads the bowling charts and remains a crucial figure for India as they aim to recover from yet another batting collapse.
