Australia vs India, 3rd Test: 5 Talking points from Day 3

#1 Bumrah skittles Australia with a 6-for

The Indian quick has grown in confidence ever since his debut against South Africa

With each passing match, Bumrah just keeps getting better and today was an unforgettable day in his career. At times, He just seemed simply unplayable even when other bowlers were extracting nothing out of this pitch.

His first wicket was Marcus Harris who top-edged a well-directed bouncer. His second wicket was probably the ball of the series as he trapped Shaun Marsh in front of the stumps with a slow, dipping yorker.

After lunch, he castled Head with a toe-crushing yorker. Another impressive aspect of Bumrah’s performance today was the low economy rate he maintained even when looking for wickets. India have had a history of allowing tailenders to score runs freely but Jasprit Bumrah was simply too good for the Aussie bowler.

He dismissed the well-settled Tim Paine as the extra bounce resulted in him nicking the ball to the keeper. He thoroughly deserved the 6 wickets he bagged in the first innings and will be looking to add more to his tally when the Aussies come out to bat again.
