After Mohammed Siraj, Mitchell Starc Takes Up 'Bail-Switch' Ritual. Brings Luck To Australia

Another episode of the bail-switching banter at the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 between India and Australia took place on Day 3 of the fourth Test in Melbourne. On this occasion, it was Australia pacer Mitchell Starc who did the ritual to turn the luck in favour of them. For once, it turned out to be lucky for Australia, as Ravindra Jadeja was trapped leg-before-wicket (LBW) by Nathan Lyon, leaving India reeling at 221/7.

4th Test, Day 3: Gutsy Nitish Reddy's Maiden Ton Keeps India Afloat vs Australia

Nitish Reddy, an unknown entity in red ball cricket before the start of Border-Gavaskar series, virtually bailed India out with his dogged maiden Test century in Melbourne on Saturday, severely denting Australia's hopes of winning the Boxing Day contest. Reddy's unbeaten 105 took India to 358 for nine, still 116 runs short of Australia's first innings score of 474 as rain brought an early end to the third day's play. With the flat MCG deck not offering much to the bowlers, saving the Test match shouldn't be a big deal for India. Reddy, easily India's 'find of the series', played a pivotal role in visitors' fightback.
