'Catches win matches', is the saying but young opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal became the epitome of missed chances, dropping as many as three chances on Day 4 of the 4th Test against Austrlaia in Melbourne on Sunday. India captain Rohit Sharma was quite accomodating when the first chance went down but was in no mood to let Jaiswal go easily when he dropped the following two catches. Jaiswal recieved an earful from Rohit on both the second and the third occasion as he continued to give lifelines to Australian batters while working as close-in fielder.
Jasprit Bumrah left the hosts in a daze with a dream spell but the courageous Australian lower order steered the side to a commanding 333-run lead on Sunday, setting up the Boxing Day Test for an intriguing last-day finish. Australia finished the fourth day at 228 for nine, leaving India skipper Rohit Sharma a bit irritated as the home team was in a spot at 156 for 8 at one stage. Australia's number 8, 10 and 11 batters saw off nearly 35 overs and it could prove decisive if India doesn't bat exceedingly well on a track which has remained true in all four days.

Rishabh Pant was at the receiving end of viral rant by Sunil Gavaskar after the wicket threw his wicket on Day 3 of the 4th Test leaving India in a precarious situation. Pant did start well and got a few boundaries but then the urge to play the falling lap pull over long-leg brought about his dismissal. "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! You've got two fielder there and you still go for that. You've missed the previous shot and look where you've been caught. You've caught at deep third man. That is throwing away your wicket. Not in the situation that India was. You have to understand the situation as well. You cannot say that is your natural game. I am sorry that is not your natural game. That is a stupid shot. That is letting your team down badly. He should not be going in that (Indian) dressing room, he should be going into the other dressing room," Gavaskar said on ABC Sport.
Star India batter Virat Kohli was booed by Australian fans on Day 2 of the ongoing Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday. A section of the crowd was heard jeering at Kohli as he walked out to bat. In fact, Kohli had a stare down at fans, who were seen mocking him following his dismissal late on Day 2. Kohli was stopped from confronting them by a security offical, who calmed him down before things could escalate.
Unarguably one of the greatest pace bowlers of all time, India superstar Jasprit Bumrah soared to an all-new high in his cricketing career, as he went past the 200-wicket milestone in Test cricket. Bumrah did so as he removed Australia's Travis Head on Day 4 of the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday. Bumrah, who was already the highest wicket-taker in the series, went past some all-time greats like Beats Malcolm Marshall, Joel Garner, and Curtly Ambrose to reach the 200-scalp milestone. Of all the bowlers who have 200 wickets or more in Test cricket, Bumrah holds the best average.
