“This game is alive” – Twitter lauds India's comeback as Australia lose 4 wickets before lunch

Siraj picked two wickets on Day 4

Just like they have done all series, India have made a comeback when Australia looked like they were running away with the match.

The hosts started Day 4 brilliantly, as Marcus Harris and David Warner attacked India’s bowlers from the get go, scoring a tick over Four Runs Per Over. But the inexperienced yet determined Indian bowling attack got the visitors back in the game once again, picking up four wickets in quick succession.

Fans on Twitter went gaga as India counter-punched to put Australia on the back foot. They shared videos of the dismissals while praising the Indian stars for their never-say-die attitude this series.

Thakur picked India’s 1st wicket on the day

Shardul Thakur triggered Australia’s collapse. The seamer sent Marcus Harris packing for 38, as fans on Twitter praised the fast bowler for giving India a welcome breakthrough.

Washington Sundar got the dangerous Warner next

In a repeat of his Day 3 heroics, Washington Sundar got in the game along with Thakur. The spinner got the wicket of David Warner, who looked in great touch before his dismissal. Fans praised Washington Sundar for giving India the timely breakthrough, as they pointed out how the youngster has dismissed both Smith and Warner this match.

Siraj's double-blow got India back in the game

Although India picked two quick wickets, the best was yet to come. India’s de facto leader Mohammed Siraj showed his mettle, dismissing Marnus Labuschagne and Matthew Wade in the same over. Siraj got Labuschagne to edge one to slip, while Wade went back after being strangled down leg stump.

Fans praised India for their grit and determination. Several on Twitter shared hilarious memes too. From praise for Siraj to appreciation for the team’s character, the social media platform erupted as India picked four wickets to get themselves back into the game on Day 4.
