IND vs AUS / Jaspreet Bumrah's record was broken in WTC, this fast bowler did a big miracle

IND vs AUS: In the second Test match played between India and Australia, the Indian team had to face a crushing defeat of 10 wickets. The performance of the Indian batsmen was very disappointing, while among the bowlers only Jasprit Bumrah was able to make an impact to some extent. On the other hand, Australia captain Pat Cummins performed brilliantly and led his team to victory.

Flop show of Indian batsmen

In this match, the Indian batsmen were constantly under pressure. Team India scored an average score in the first innings, but the batting order collapsed completely in the second innings. The team was able to score only 175 runs and gave Australia a modest target of just 19 runs. This performance of the batsmen is worrying for the team, especially when there is a strong bowling attack in front.

Pat Cummins' explosive performance

Australia captain Pat Cummins did wonders in bowling and turned the match in favor of his team. He took 2 wickets in the first innings and 5 wickets in the second innings. In the second innings, he stopped the Indian batsmen by giving only 57 runs in 14 overs. With this performance, he has become the fast bowler with the most five-wicket hauls in the World Test Championship (WTC).

Jasprit Bumrah's record broken

Pat Cummins broke the record of Jasprit Bumrah by taking 9 five-wicket hauls in the history of the World Test Championship, who had achieved this feat 8 times. Kagiso Rabada (7 times) is third in this list. Talking about the overall record in the World Test Championship, Ravichandran Ashwin is at the top with 11 five-wicket hauls.

Strong captaincy of Australia

Under the captaincy of Cummins, Australia recently won the World Test Championship and ODI World Cup 2023 titles. In his career so far, he has taken 279 wickets in 64 Test matches and his captaincy experience is constantly strengthening the team.

Difficult road ahead for India

This defeat is a big lesson for the Indian team. Especially batting needs improvement. Apart from this, other bowlers of the team will have to support Jasprit Bumrah. In the upcoming matches, Team India will have to learn from their mistakes and improve their strategies.

Conclusion

This match proved to be one-sided for Australia, while the Indian team needs to focus on their weaknesses. Pat Cummins proved with his performance that he is one of the most influential captains and bowlers of the present time. On the other hand, the Indian team will have to come back strongly in the next match.
