Sara Tendulkar Spotted Cheering For India During 3rd Test Against Australia

Sara Tendulkar, daughter of legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar, was spotted in the stands on Day 1 of the third Test encounter between India and Australia at The Gabba in Brisbane on Saturday. Sara was cheering from the stands with former cricketers Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh sitting on the seats behind her. However, there was not much play in the first session of Day 1 as heavy rain impacted play and according to forecasts, couple of days' play can get affected by the rainfall and thunderstorms.

Australian openers, especially local hero Usman Khawaja, displayed a lot of grit as they confidently negotiated Jasprit Bumrah's opening spell to reach 28 without loss against India.

Only 13.2 overs of play were possible during the first session, as the weather forecast predicts more interruptions throughout the game.

Bumrah (0/8 in 6 overs) bowled his least potent opening spell of the series so far.

Despite overcast conditions and enough bounce on offer, he didn't bowl too many wicket-taking deliveries in that six-over first spell while Mohammed Siraj (0/13 in 4 overs) was guilty of occasionally pitching it short.

In case of Bumrah, he rightly pitched it up but there was very little hint of swing on offer and only on few occasions was he able to square up Khawaja (19 batting, 47 balls) while coming round the wicket. The lines weren't exactly exciting and were drifting towards the leg-side more often.

With not many probing questions asked, the first 25 minutes before the steady drizzle stopped proceedings for some time saw Australia reach 19 for no loss. While Nathan McSweeney (4 batting, 33 balls) defended dourly, Khawaja did pull Siraj for a boundary
