(Reuters) - Australia captain Pat Cummins picked up five wickets while his fast bowling colleague Mitchell Starc took four as Pakistan were all out for 268, conceding a first-innings lead of 123 on the third day of the deciding third and final test in Lahore.
Mitchell Starc is famous for producing his best deliveries when Australia's backs are against the wall and he replicated the same on Day 3 of the ongoing third Test against Pakistan at the Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore on Wednesday. The pacer bowled two lethal deliveries to get the better of Fawad Alam and Mohammad Rizwan. The balls were delivered with great pace and the Pakistan duo had no answers to what was thrown at them. After being bowled, Rizwan especially had a shell-shocked expression seeing what transpired on the 22 yards.
The likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel are expected to hog the spotlight as bowlers in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. The new IPL season is scheduled to begin from March 26, with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) taking on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Last season, bowlers made a big difference for their teams with some stunning match-winning spells. This year too, bowlers are expected to shine and fans will be eagerly waiting for some entertainment from pacers and spinners alike.
Kolkata Knight Riders mentor David Hussey feels new skipper Shreyas Iyer has a good cricketing brain and has proved his skills as a leader during his stint as Delhi Capitals captain. Iyer, who led Delhi Capitals to the final in 2020, was bought by KKR for Rs 12.25 crore at the mega auction last month. He was named captain by KKR team management ahead of pacer Pat Cummins, who leads the Australian Test side.
The crowd at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore were witness to a spectacular catch from visiting Australian captain Pat Cummins, who grabbed a screamer off his own bowling to see the back of Azhar Ali for 78 runs. On Day 3 of the third Test, the Pakistan batters made the bowlers work hard for their wickets before spinner Nathan Lyon got the first breakthrough of the day, getting rid of Abdullah Shafique for 81 runs. However, Ali continued to impress as he picked up from last night and completed a magnificent half-century.
