MELBOURNE :Pace dynamo Jasprit Bumrah blitzed Australia's middle order in a thrilling three-wicket burst on Sunday to turn the fourth test on its head and give India some hope of pulling off an unlikely victory.
MELBOURNE : Pace maestro Jasprit Bumrah took revenge for his first innings battering by Sam Konstas when he bowled Australia's teen debutant cheaply early on day four of the fourth test on Sunday after India were dismissed for 369.
Indian batting great Sunil Gavaskar and former Australia opener Justin Langer on Friday said Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal could have avoided attempting the "risky" single that led to the latter's run-out, giving Australia a potentially decisive breakthrough in the fourth Test in Melbourne. Jaiswal, who made a breezy 118-ball 82 on the second day of the game, was way short of his crease after a mix-up with Kohli (36) while attempting a quick single. "It would have been a quick run, and somebody like Virat Kohli would definitely have made it. But the thing was, he looked at the fielder. When you look at the fielder, when you turn, you've lost that vital second. Your balance is completely off. And it would have been a tight run," Gavaskar told Star Sports.
Australia's Steve Smith credited a last-session breakthrough, including the dramatic run-out of Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal at the end of the second day's play as the turning point in the Boxing Day Test that could decide the outcome of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. Smith highlighted the mix-up between Jaiswal and Virat Kohli as a "huge play" that shifted momentum decisively in Australia's favour. “It looks like Jaiswal called ‘yes' and ran and Virat sent him back. It is as simple as that,” Smith said after the second day's play.
Indian cricket team stars Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli had a terrible mix-up on Day 2 of the ongoing 4th Test against Australia, resulting in the former's unfortunate run out dismissal. Jaiswal, who was batting on 82, tried to steal a quick single off Scott Boland but Kohli didn't responding on time, leaving the youngster stranded, ending a dangerous 102-run stand. Jaiswal was visibly frustrated at the incident while Kohli's concentration was impacted as he once again ended up edging a delivery outside the off-stump straight to wicketkeeper Alex Carey.
Yashasvi Jaiswal's run out will be huge in the broader context of the fourth Test match against India as it also affected Virat Kohli's concentration, who till then looked good for a "masterclass", said Australia's batting hero Steve Smith on Friday. Jaiswal, who was quite fluent during his 118-ball stay that yielded 82 runs on the second day, was way short of his crease after a mix-up with Virat Kohli (36) while attempting a quick single, handing Australia the breakthrough that could prove decisive.
India suffered a late batting collapse after a good show from Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal on Day 2 of the fourth Test match against Australia in Melbourne on Friday. The visitors looked quite comfortable with both Jaiswal and Kohli showing excellent judgement against the Australia bowlers. Jaiswal slammed a gritty half-century while Kohli looked quite solid with India cruising at 153 for the loss of two wickets. However, with 30 minutes left for stumps, Jaiswal was dismissed run-out following a horrible mix-up. It was an unfortunate end to a solid knock and it opened the floodgates for the hosts.
