The Indian team is feeling heat in Melbourne in the fourth Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. At Tea on Day 2 the visitors have lost two wickets putting only 51 runs on the board in 15 overs. Pat Cummins has expressed himself and has proven himself to be unplayable by picking up the wickets of Rohit Sharm and KL Rahul. 

Notably, Australia won the toss ahead of the game and opted to bat first. The debutant of the Australian team, Sam Konstas played a dazzling knock and set the stage for a big total from the home team. However, even after the dismissal of the young opener, the Australian team did not let the grip on the game go loose.

Marnus Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja formed a resolute partnership and solidified the position of the Australian team in the game. Steve Smith walked out after this and scored a brilliant 140 putting the home team way ahead in the game. Ultimately, the home team posted 474 runs before they were bundled out in the 123rd of their innings.

Pat Cummins Wreaks Havoc On The Indian Batting Line-up

With such a huge mountain to climb India needed a good start from their top order. However, the Aussie skipper, Pat Cummins ensured that the visitors felt the heat from the very beginning. The right-arm pacer first dismissed Rohit Sharma and just at the stroke of tea ended the stay of KL Rahul in the middle.

On the last delivery of the 16th over, Cummins bowled a beauty to get the better of the best Indian batter in this tour. It was a good length delivery that pitched at the middle stump line. Rahul committed to his front foot and tried to play the line of the delivery. However, the ball moved away at the last moment and left the batter stunned. The ball crashed into the off stump and that ended the short stay in the middle of the Indian batter.
