Jasprit Bumrah, India’s star pacer, missed out on claiming his third five-wicket haul in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a frustrating no-ball incident on Day 4 of the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
In the 82nd over, Nathan Lyon edged a delivery to KL Rahul at third slip, but the joy was short-lived as the on-field umpire signaled a front-foot no-ball, denying Bumrah his fifth wicket.
The moment became even more exasperating as Lyon edged another delivery from Bumrah on the final ball of the day, this time sending it to the boundary. The pacer’s frustration was evident as he walked off the field, denied what could have been a match-defining milestone.
Jasprit Bumrah’s Stellar Spell Keeps India in the Game
Bumrah had been instrumental earlier in the day, breaking through Australia’s batting lineup after Mohammed Siraj dismissed Steve Smith. He then returned to dismiss Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, and Alex Carey in quick succession, reducing Australia to 91/6.
Despite Bumrah’s efforts, Australia showed resilience. Marnus Labuschagne and Pat Cummins steadied the innings with a crucial 57-run partnership, pushing the lead past 250. Ravindra Jadeja added to India’s breakthroughs, dismissing Cummins for 41.
At 173/9, India looked all set to wrap up Australia’s innings. However, Nathan Lyon and Scott Boland frustrated the bowlers with an unbeaten 57-run partnership, taking Australia’s lead to 333.
Day 5: A Decisive Day Ahead
With Australia ending Day 4 at 228/9, the final day promises to be a thrilling contest. India needs to take the last wicket quickly and then chase the target. Bumrah’s missed opportunity might haunt the team, but the focus will be on executing the plans on Day 5 and securing a series-clinching victory.
