Jasprit Bumrah Pokes Fun At Marnus Labuschagne (Source: @peadsurgeon/X)
You don't often see Jasprit Bumrah making fun of the opposition. However, a rare thing happened on Friday, and it was Marnus Labuschagne, Australia's Mr. Dependable, who was at the receiving end.
The incident happened during the 13th over of Australia’s innings when Labuschagne defended the ball straight to Bumrah, and quipped ‘wait on!’ Bumrah slowly took the ball with a smile, and on the following delivery, Labuschagne was completely outclassed.
Jasprit Bumrah, Labuschagne Turn Day-Night Test Into Cinema
Bumrah made a slow run towards Labuschagne in a hilarious way. Needless to say, it was nothing but a mocking from India’s No. 1 sensation. Labuschagne too acknowledged how brilliant Bumrah was against him, as he smiled at him, turning the match into a cinema.
Earlier, India were bundled out for 180 in the first innings, with Nitish Kumar Reddy making a lot of headlines due to some audacious shots. Mitchell Starc, however, was the talk of the town, taking six of India's 10 wickets to leave them in tatters.
At the time of writing this, Australia are 47/1, with Usman Khawaja being the only man from Australia lose his wicket. Nathan McSweeney and Marnus Labuschagne are in the middle, batting on 12* and 9* respectively, as Australia are on the driver's seat to level the series.
Nevertheless, with Jasprit Bumrah there, India's comeback can come at any time, and don't be surprised it may come before stumps.
