Jasprit Bumrah rocks Australia
While Australia looked well in control of the game, India had to rely on their ever-dependable Jasprit Bumrah to come to the rescue. And Bumrah did exactly what his team needed him. Day 1 of the Gabba Test saw India picking no wickets. But things took a turn on Day 2.
He scalped 2 wickets to dispose of the two openers, Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney. However, then Steve Smith and Travis Head took control of the game and went on to slam centuries. After India got the second ball, Bumrah staged a comeback. He went on to slam 3 quick wickets.
Jasprit Bumrah first dismissed Steve Smith and then followed it with Mitchell Marsh. And lastly, he went on to dispatch Travis Head right after the latter reached 150.
