India vs Australia 4th Test Day 1:
Jasprit Bumrah showcased his skill once more as India made a strong recovery on Day 1 of the fourth Test against Australia in Melbourne. At the close of play, Australia’s score stood at 311/6, with Steve Smith (68*) and Pat Cummins (8*) remaining at the crease. Debutant Sam Konstas (60) ignited the Australian charge with a brilliant half-century, marking a memorable debut with some remarkable shots. Usman Khawaja (57), Marnus Labuschagne (72), and Steve Smith (68 not out) all made valuable contributions with fifties on a solid batting pitch. Jasprit Bumrah (3/75) was, as expected, India’s standout bowler.
