India vs Australia highlights, 4th Test Day 5: Jasprit Bumrah not a statistical person, says Rohit Sharma
India vs Australia highlights, 4th Test Day 5: Australia clinched a dominant 184-run victory in the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Monday, taking a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. India, chasing a daunting target of 340, were bowled out for 155 with just 12.5 overs remaining, leaving them needing a win in the final Test in Sydney on Friday to level the series and retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.Pat Cummins led Australia’s charge, claiming 3/28 and dismissing top-scorer Yashasvi Jaiswal for 84 as India’s last seven wickets tumbled for just 34 runs in 20.3 overs.Although India’s chances of saving the match seemed promising at tea, with Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant batting through the entire second session to reach 112/3, Pant’s dismissal for 30, caught in the deep off a reckless shot against part-time spinner Travis Head, triggered a collapse.Ravindra Jadeja and first-innings centurion Nitish Kumar Reddy fell quickly, before Cummins wrapped up Jaiswal’s determined 208-ball knock in controversial fashion. The 23-year-old was initially given not out to a caught-behind appeal after an attempted hook, but the TV umpire overturned the decision, citing visual evidence of the ball changing direction, despite no noise being detected by the technology.Akash Deep was dismissed at short leg off Scott Boland (3/39), and Jasprit Bumrah was dismissed for a second duck of the match. Mohammed Siraj was the last man out, trapped lbw by Nathan Lyon (2/37).Washington Sundar showed resilience, remaining not out on five after facing 45 balls.India's hopes had already been rocked in the first session, with veteran batsmen Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Virat Kohli all dismissed for single-figure scores.Cummins completed an inspired Test, claiming 3/38 and six wickets in total, while also scoring 90 runs—the best batting performance of his career.
