Jasprit Bumrah breathes fire after Jaiswal and Kohli centuries : India Top 3 : India’s quicks made three late inroads in a dramatic conclusion to third day to put them on track for a huge victory. Virat Kohli (40 batting, 74 balls) used all his decade and half of experience in Test cricket is ensuring that the chase goes beyond Australia’s reach and the classic on-drive off rival skipper Pat Cummins reminded one and all of the golden days that the ‘King’ has enjoyed in this part of the world.
Jasprit Bumrah breathes fire after Jaiswal and Kohli centuries : India Top 3 : – Devdutt Padikkal (25) and Dhruv Jurel (1) didn’t make most of the big break that they got and are all set to be replaced in the next Test in Adelaide with both skipper Rohit Sharma and injured Shubman Gill set to be back in action. Rishabh Pant’s (1) intent was spot-on but execution can always go wrong when one plays a high-risk game.
