Bumrah once again showcased his batting skills on the field, following a reminder during a press conference at the Gabba. A reporter had asked about his thoughts on the Indian batting in the conditions at the venue, leading Bumrah to proudly mention his record-breaking achievement of scoring 35 runs in an over against Stuart Broad in Test cricket.
Reporter: "Hi, Jasprit. What is your assessment of the batting, although you are not the best person to answer the question, but what do you think about the situation of the team, considering the conditions in Gabba?"
Bumrah: “It's an interesting question. But, you are questioning my batting ability. You should use Google and see who has got the most number of runs in a Test over. But, jokes apart. That's another story.”
Google India responded on their X account after Bumrah's rescue act with the bat on Tuesday and wrote, “I only believe in Jassi Bhai”
Bumrah has been the standout bowler in the series, currently leading the bowling chart with 18 wickets so far, but the other Indian bowlers have struggled to make a mark in the series so far.
Rahul-Jadeja lead India's fightbackMeanwhile, resuming the morning at 51-4, Rahul was dropped on the first ball of the day when Steve Smith somehow missed a simple catch at first slip. Rahul took advantage of it and went on to score 84 runs off 139 balls to lead India's fightback, while Ravindra Jadeja also scored 77 runs off 123 balls to put the innings back on the track. At the end of day, Akash smashed Cummins over deep mid-wicket for a massive six before umpires took them from the field for bad light with India 252-9, trailing by 193 runs.
