Jasprit Bumrah Trounces Australian Batters as Match Tilts in India’s Favor

The fourth Test match between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is heading towards a thrilling climax. After securing a 116-run lead in the first innings, India’s star pacer Jasprit Bumrah delivered an exceptional performance, leaving the Australian batting lineup reeling in their second innings. By the end of 39 overs, Australia had lost six wickets for just 99 runs.

Jasprit Bumrah spearheaded the Indian bowling attack with remarkable precision, claiming four crucial wickets. Mohammed Siraj supported him effectively, dismissing two batters. Among the Australian batters, Marnus Labuschagne stood out with an unbeaten 46, while others struggled to make a significant impact. Sam Constance scored 8, Usman Khawaja added 21, Steven Smith managed 13, Travis Head contributed 1, Mitchell Marsh was dismissed for a duck, Alex Carey made 2, and Pat Cummins is currently at the crease with 4 runs.

Australia currently holds a slim lead of 204 runs, with four wickets in hand. If India can dismiss the remaining batters quickly, they stand a good chance of chasing down a manageable target. As the Boxing Day Test unfolds, it promises to keep fans on the edge of their seats.
