Jasprit Bumrah Turns Spinner, Unleashes New Weapon Ahead Of 3rd Australia Test - Watch

Jasprit Bumrah turned spinner as he bowled couple of leg-spin deliveries during practice ahead of the third Test match against Australia in Brisbane starting Saturday. In a video posted by journalist Bharat Sundaresan on X (formerly Twitter), Bumrah was seen two leg-spinners with a short run-up before going back to his full run-up and going full throttle against the batters. There were some concerns regarding Bumrah's fitness after he struggled a bit during the second Test match but the fast bowler looked completely fit as he bowled quite well in practice against KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal.

First Time In 51 Years: Smriti Mandhana Scripts Never-Before-Seen Record

Smriti Mandhana scored her fourth ODI century of 2024 during India's defeat to Australia at the WACA. This remarkable achievement set a new all-time record for the most centuries scored in a calendar year in women's ODIs, according to Wisden. Mandhana's innings came as India chased 299, a target set by Australia thanks to Annabel Sutherland's 110 off 99 balls, with Ashleigh Gardner and Tahlia McGrath also contributing half-centuries. Despite losing her opening partner, Richa Ghosh, early--bowled by Megan Schutt--Mandhana stood out in an otherwise disappointing performance by the Indian batting lineup.

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has weighed in on the incident and verbal spat that took place between Australia batter Travis Head and India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj during the second Test in Adelaide, stating that he got worried for Siraj.

Mumbai made a mockery out of Vidarbha's total of 221/6 to enter the semi-finals of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy on Wednesday.

They surpassed Karachi Dolphins' previous best tally of chasing 210 against Rawalpindi Rams in the semi-final of the Faysal Bank T20 Cup 2010 at the Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore.
