Sydney [Australia], January 5: Australian captain Pat Cummins shook the visiting team in the first hour of Day 3 at the SCG, and Jasprit Bumrah, who had been sidelined by back spasms on Day 2, came back to lead his team from the front.

Fatigue eventually overcame India’s A-lister in the last round of the current Border-Gavaskar Trophy. On Day 2, he went to the dressing room after leaving the field for scans.

Jadeja attempted, but failed badly, to protect his line as Cummins pushed out an edge in the first hour of the third day. Washington Sundar was dismissed for 12 (43), after the Australian captain tucked one back in.

Bumrah immediately made his intentions known as he stood up to lead his team from the crease. On the opening ball, he took a wayward stroke, but Scott Boland ultimately outscored him.

Boland’s blazing spells continued to plague the visitors until India’s innings was over. In order to offer Usman Khawaja an advantage, he enticed Mohammed Siraj.

He clicked 133.1 kph a minute later, just in time to see the ball smash into the top of the leg stump. Bumrah attempted a reckless swing but failed to hit the ball’s line. India was all out on 157 after his departure, leaving Australia with a 162-run goal to meet.

Siraj took charge of initiating the action when India returned to defend its goal, and Bumrah did not go back to the field.

Usman Khawaja and Sam Konstas set the pace of the chase, and he ultimately gave away 13 runs in the first over. In the low-scoring match, Prasidh Krishna accompanied Siraj in advancing India’s position.

With 32 wickets to far, the 31-year-old, who has been in outstanding form throughout the BGT series, has been India’s best wicket-taker in a Test series against Australia played on Australian territory.

He has three five-wicket hauls with a high of 6/76 and an outstanding average of 12.64. By achieving this, he beat the record of 31 wickets set by Bishan Singh Bedi during the 1977–78 Australian tour.
