The Indian team did no delay in taking the new ball as soon as the play started on Day 4. The team was very quick in taking this decision as they claimed the new ball in the second over of the day itself.

This proved out to be a masterstroke as Mohammed Shami, who was given to bowl the first over with the new ball, dismissed Pat Cummins with a beautiful delivery which scooted under Cummins's bat and went into the stumps.

Just after four overs, it was now Jasprit Bumrah who struck his first wicket of the match as his back of length delivery was found too tough to be played by Peter Handscomb.

India's mission to rip Australia off didn’t stop even then as just in the next over, an eye-pleasing fuller delivery by the leg-spinner Kuldeep Yadav made way for Nathan Lyon towards the pavilion.

These quick wickets just broke the spine of the plan of the hosts to make a comeback on the fourth day and put the match in India's pocket.
