So much is happening currently in the IND vs AUS Test! After India were bowled out for 185 in their first innings, Australia faced a similar fate, getting dismissed for 181 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Currently, Day 3’s session is underway, which is crucial from both teams’ perspectives.
India will aim to bat well now as they hold a slim 4-run lead, while Australia will look to put their bowlers to good use to take early wickets. It will be interesting to see how the session comes and who gains the upper hand.
In the second session, several things went in India’s favour, as they restrict Australia to a low score. However, what didn’t go as planned was the injury concern for Jasprit Bumrah. Yes, that’s correctBumrah is currently undergoing scans, and Virat Kohli is leading the team in his absence.
This is a big moment, as Bumrah has been a key figure in the series, and the team cannot afford to lose him. From a series perspective, this game is extremely important if India is looking to level the scoreline and bring the Border-Gavaskar Trophy back home.
