The Indian A team is currently in Australia for the two unofficial Tests and the first Test has been quite an interesting one with both teams winning different phases of the game. At the end of Day 3, Australia A are ahead in the game with 86 needed to win and seven wickets in hand.

There have been plenty of exciting moments in the game with quality cricketing skillsets on display. However, Mukesh Kumar, the Indian pacer also decided to show some of his non-cricketing skills during the fag end of Day 3. In a video released by cricket.com.au, Mukesh Kumar is seen repairing the patches on the pitch, with a big hammer as the groundstaff and other players are seen looking at him.

Australia-A Ahead In The First Test

Mukesh Kumar was levelling up the area where the bowler lands his foot while delivering the ball. He is a pacer and the area is a crucial one for his side as a problem there can injured a pacer. So, the Indian pacer did everything he could do and would be looking to deliver a big performance on Day 4.

Mukesh Kumar was the pick of the Indian bowlers in the first innings with six wickets while in the second innings, he got the wicket of young batter Sam Konstas. Indian batters though apart from Sai Sudharsan and Devdutt Padikkal could not score much runs in both the innings, and it might prove costly as Australia A go into Day 4 as favourites.
