Nitish Kumar Reddy: India’s fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah has asked for patience to be shown with the team after losing four wickets in their first innings of ongoing third Test against Australia at the Gabba.
On a day where only 33.1 overs of play was possible due to rain, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood scythed through the top-order to leave India at 51/4 in 17 overs and trail Australia by 394 runs. They need 194 runs to avoid follow-on, but heavy rain forecast for last two days means India might just be saved from going 2-1 behind in the five-match series.
“As a team, we don't point fingers at each other and we don't want to get into that mindset where we are pointing fingers at each other that you should do this and that. We as a team are going through a transition as new players are coming in and it's not the easiest place to play cricket over here," said Bumrah to reporters in press conference after day three’s play.
