Jasprit Bumrah once again displayed his exceptional skill, claiming the crucial wicket of Mitchell Marsh for just four runs. With this breakthrough, Australia has now lost their fifth wicket, allowing India to slowly regain control of the match. Currently, Steve Smith and Alex Carey are building a steady partnership, helping Australia maintain momentum. Meanwhile, India is focused on picking up more wickets to dismiss the Australian side as soon as possible.
In an unexpected move earlier, India made a surprising change to their playing XI. Rohit Sharma opted to drop Shubman Gill from the team and instead brought in spin-bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar. This decision has added an interesting dynamic to the team’s strategy.
Australia Playing XI: Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey (w), Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Scott Boland
