India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj put up an incredible show with the ball after scalping five wickets against Australia in the second innings of the fourth Test in Brisbane. The right-arm fast bowler’s scalps included the important wickets of Marnus Labuschagne who had scored a ton in the first innings, former skipper Steve Smith who looked in good touch before getting out on 55. Apart from this, Siraj removed, Matthew Wade, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood.
Shardul Thakur also returned with impressive figures of 4/61.
Australia were eventually bowled out for 294 handing India a target of 328 in the second innings. Smith top-scored with 55 while opener David Warner finally got among some runs to score 48.
Earlier, the home side posted 369 in the first innings, courtesy a hundred from Labuschagne and later reduced India to 186/6 before Thakur and Washington Sundar stitched a 143-run stand for the seventh wicket and scored individual half-centuries during the course.
The four-match series is levelled at 1-1.
