In the ongoing 3rd Test match between India and Australia, the rain has again halted the play. It has been a start-stop match so far as the fans have lost count of rain-interruption in four days of play.
Alongside the fans, Mitchell Starc too isn't pleased with the rain interruptions and was seen arguing with the on-field umpire after he was asked to hand over the ball and leave the field. The left-arm seamer, who was lining up for his next delivery displayed a rare burst of emotions and was reluctant to walk back.
He might have also argued about the intensity of the rain and was not pleased by the halt after a light drizzle.
Starc Fights With Umpire For 2nd Day In A Row
It is not the first time that Starc was frustrated by the interruption as he also was angry with the umpires on day 3. He refused to walk back and had a long chat with the umpire, before eventually making his way back to the pavillion.
It is worth noting that it is raining in patches at the Gabba and similary, the play has resumed again at the time of writing this article. In fact, Starc has also taken another wicket and send Mohammed Siraj packing.
India are 202/8 after 63 overs and require 44 runs more to avoid the follow-on. It is worth noting that Starc's frustration is also stemming from the fact that a win is crucial for Australia to qualify for the WTC finals as India, Aussie, and South Africa all are in contention to qualify for the finals.
