The match was hanging in the balance, and Mitchell Marsh was at the crease, looking to make an impact. However, it was Jasprit Bumrah who provided the breakthrough that set the tone for the innings.

In the second over itself Bumrah bowled a delivery with precision, tempting Marsh into an edge. The ball kissed the outside edge of Marsh's bat and flew towards the slip cordon. That's when the magic happened. Virat Kohli, positioned at first slip, leaped to his left with remarkable agility, snatching the ball out of thin air.
The entire stadium erupted in cheers as Kohli's athleticism and lightning-fast reflexes were on full display. Bumrah, ecstatic with the breakthrough, punched the air in celebration. Marsh, who had yet to score, had to depart, his dismissal sending shockwaves through the Australian camp.
Jasprit Bumrah's probing line and Virat Kohli's jaw-dropping catch had combined to send a resounding message to their opponents: Team India is here to play, and they mean business.
At the time of writing, Australia is at 7/1.
