Australia extend lead to 333 against India at stumps on Day 4 of fourth Test

Melbourne: Jasprit Bumrah (4/56) entered record books by completing his 200 wickets but Australia extended their lead to 333 runs, reaching 228 for 9 at stumps on the fourth day of the fourth Test, here Sunday. Resuming at 135 for six after tea, Australia lost their last recognised batter Marnus Labuschagne for 70 off 139 balls shortly after resumption but fought till the end of the third session…

[ad_1]   Four wickets in the final session saved the day for India. (PC: Debasis Sen) A packed MCG crowd was treated to an enthralling day of Test cricket, with 311 runs scored for the loss of six wickets, four of which fell in the final session. For the first time in the series, Australia’s top-order delivered, with debutant Sam Konstas, Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne registering fifties. However, none of them managed to convert their starts into substantial scores. Steve Smith, unbeaten on 68, will have the opportunity to do so when play resumes tomorrow, alongside skipper Pat Cummins, who is batting on 6. The pitch had a light covering of grass, offering assistance to the pacers, and it showed its impact in the opening overs as Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj began their spells with back-to-back maidens. While there were a few close calls and missed opportunities, the first 30 minutes passed without any wickets and not many runs were scored.  However, it didn’t last long. Konstas turned the tide with an audacious display of stroke-play, scooping and reverse-scooping Bumrah for a boundary and a six off the first two balls of the seventh over. This marked the start of an electrifying batting display from the young debutant. Before the Test, Konstas had spoken about his plans to counter Bumrah, and he executed them brilliantly.   The young batter continued his fearless approach, smashing Bumrah for 18 runs in the bowler’s sixth over—a record for the most runs Bumrah has conceded in a single over in Tests. Konstas carried his momentum forward, reaching his maiden fifty in just 51 balls. This feat made him Australia’s second-youngest Test half-centurion, trailing only Ian Craig, who achieved the milestone at 17 years and 240 days back in 1953.  While there were occasional misses and tense exchanges with players like Siraj,  and later on with Virat Kohli, he never wavered. Strategically, Konstas managed to shield Khawaja from Bumrah, limiting the left-hander to just three balls in the pacer’s opening spell. Together, the duo built Australia’s first 50-plus partnership of the game. As Konstas dominated the pacers, Rohit Sharma turned to spin, bringing Ravindra Jadeja into the attack. The shift unsettled the youngster slightly, and after surviving a close call, Konstas fell to a straight delivery from Jadeja, ending a scintillating debut innings of 60 off 65 balls. Once he got out, India managed to put the brakes on the scoring rate. Two Queenslanders, Khawaja and Labuschagne, got together and carried the innings forward. The former reached his first fifty of the series but was soon dismissed in an unfortunate manner when Bumrah returned to the attack.  Labuschagne was in the zone and hardly looked uncomfortable, apart from taking one or two odd blows. Aside from a couple of deliveries offering some movement, there wasn’t much assistance for the bowlers, and both Labuschagne and Smith capitalised on that.  Runs began to flow more freely after the Tea break. Just when it seemed as if this partnership would remain unbeaten by the end of the day, Labuschagne played a false shot, giving Washington Sundar his first wicket. That breakthrough opened the floodgates for India. Travis Head came in, and Bumrah was reintroduced into the attack. The stage was set: the series’ leading run-scorer facing off against its leading wicket-taker. It took Bumrah just two deliveries to send the in-form Head packing, as a lapse in judgment proved costly for the southpaw.  Mitchell Marsh followed Head shortly after, continuing his poor run with the bat. In just a few overs, Australia lost three crucial wickets, shifting the momentum in India’s favour. Smith joined hands with Alex Carey in an attempt to play out the remaining overs, but the second new ball broke their 53-run partnership with Carey’s dismissal. Akash Deep, who was India’s best bowler of the day, claimed the sixth wicket as India ended the day on a high. The post Konstas shines on debut,

Australia: 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Champions

Australia 241 for 4 (Head 137, Labuschagne 58*, Bumrah 2-43) beat India 240 (Rahul 66, Kohli 54, Starc 3-55, Cummins 2-34, Hazlewood 2-60) by six wickets

India may be where the heart of the game now resides, but the coolest Head in cricket has once again been shown to be Australian. Travis Head, to be precise, who set up his side's record-extending sixth World Cup victory with a triumphantly paced 137 from 120 balls in Ahmedabad, but whose most significant contribution arguably came some six-and-a-half hours beforehand, with one of the most match-turning catches in ODI history.

What might have been for these two teams had Head not held onto a steepling, sprawling take, running backwards into the covers to saw off India's captain, Rohit Sharma, in his prime? Australia's eventual target of 241 would have been significantly higher, no doubt, and to judge by the ferocity with which India's new-ball bowlers clawed at their opponents in the powerplay - with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami inevitably to the fore - there would have been all the more opportunities for their chase to have toppled off its tightrope.

Instead, Head held on, and in so doing, he applied a handbrake to a runaway innings that would never be fully released. On Rohit's watch, India had racked up 10 fours and three sixes in blazing along to 80 for 2 in the first powerplay. Once he'd gone, India mustered just four more fours, and 160 more runs, across the next 40 overs. It meant they were unable to post a total big enough to mitigate against the inevitable onset of dew - the primary reason why Pat Cummins had risked letting Rohit and Co. set the agenda in the first place.

And so Australia's victory came at a canter in the end, with six wickets standing and a huge 42 balls unused - a margin that would have been greater still but for Head's dismissal to the penultimate ball of the chase. Undeterred, Glenn Maxwell pulled his first ball for two to take his side through to a victory target which - as fate would have it - was the exact total that England and New Zealand had been unable to split by conventional means four years ago.

But that ease at the finish told nothing of the jeopardy that had preceded it. At 47 for 3 after seven overs, with Steven Smith inexplicably failing to review an lbw from Bumrah that was shown to have struck his pad outside off, Australia were in the thick of a do-or-die tussle against two of the most outstanding performers of India's previously peerless campaign.

David Warner, in what may turn out to be his final ODI innings, had scuffed Shami's first legitimate delivery to Virat Kohli at slip for 7, having fenced his own first ball of the innings (from Bumrah) past the same fielder's boot for four, and with Mitchell Marsh's attempt to hit the quicks off their lengths ending in a loose cut through to the keeper, the crowd had found its full voice for the first time in the game.

But Marnus Labuschagne, retained in Australia's starting XI despite the sense, mid-tournament, that he and Head were competing for a solitary berth, showed the value of his Test pre-eminence with an indomitable sidekick's role of 58 not out from 110 balls. Over by over, run by run, he and Head extended their crucial fourth-wicket stand of 192, seeing off pace and spin alike until, at some indefinable moment around the 20th over of the chase, the bite in a two-paced wicket was replaced with the even-sprayed skid of the long-promised dew.

When Bumrah returned for the 28th over for a last roll of the dice with Australia beginning to accelerate away on 148 for 3, he was greeted with three flayed fours from Head, either side of an excruciating umpire's call appeal for lbw against Labuschagne that felt like final proof that India's hope had gone.

Ultimately, it was a clinical and ruthlessly passion-killing display from the most formidable winners in the world game. Every man in Australia's XI played his part in sucking the marrow from a contest that, to judge by the sea of blue in the Narendra Modi Stadium's stands and the expectant attendance of the eponymous PM himself, had been intended as a coronation. Instead, the closing hour of the match was greeted in stunned silence by a 92,453-strong crowd, and nothing epitomised the sense of national anticlimax quite like the trophy-lift itself, for which Cummins was left forlorn on the podium for a full 20 seconds before his team was able to join him after accepting their handshakes away from centre stage.

Not that the lack of in-situ acclaim will derail Australia's sense of achievement. As Head's pivotal catch would ultimately prove, the tone for their victory was once again set in the field. As had been the case in the semi-final against South Africa, the 37-year-old Warner was their barometer, flinging himself with gusto to cut off numerous boundary balls, but while Rohit was on deck, it seemed that Cummins' brave decision to bowl first might get soon overwhelmed, like so many opponents before them, by India's extraordinary weight of strokemakers.

Instead, he backed his bowlers to complete the job they had started in their extraordinary tournament opener in Chennai, where India's top three had all made ducks in slumping to 2 for 3, only for their sub-par target of 200 to be picked off with ease. This time, the dew notwithstanding, he figured the pressure of the big occasion might weigh more heavily in the first innings than the second - especially if his attack could make their early breakthroughs.

All of which made Rohit's shortlived onslaught all the more brave, selfless even, as he shouldered the entire responsibility for India's powerplay proactivity, particularly against Josh Hazlewood, the instigator of that Chennai collapse. In the manner of his charging down the pitch to meet his hard lengths, there were shades of Sachin Tendulkar's pre-emptive attack on Glenn McGrath in the 2003 final … except on this occasion it seemed, briefly, to be working.

But then came the unequivocal moment of the match - a act of fielding majesty that stood immediate comparison with Kapil Dev's running catch off Viv Richards at the pivotal juncture of the 1983 final. Rohit had already slammed ten runs in two balls from Glenn Maxwell's second over, when he stepped into another slap over the long-off boundary, and miscued high out into the covers. Travis Head tracked back from point with the ball skewing high over his shoulder, and with his eyes never leaving the prize, timed his dive to perfection to cling on with both hands.

It will go down as a seminal World Cup moment. Australia had still been battered for 80 runs in the first powerplay - the joint-most conceded in that phase of the first innings of a World Cup final - but now they sensed their chance to turn the contest on its head. Two balls later, Cummins, into his second over, found Shreyas Iyer's edge as he poked without conviction or footwork, and at three down in the 11th, with Shubman Gill already gone to a flaccid pull off Mitchell Starc, Hardik Pandya's absence as India's lower-order pivot was suddenly revealed to be the weakness that Shami's stunning impact with the ball had hitherto concealed.

There had been no such angst while India had been pounding along in each of their ten previous tournament wins - including five untroubled chases to launch their campaign, and a net margin of 875 runs in their five subsequent bat-first victories. As a consequence, India's Nos. 6-11 had barely been called upon in scoring a total of 240 runs between them in those matches, the lowest of any team in this tournament, and now suddenly, with Shami and Bumrah inked in at Nos.8 and 9, none of their set batters dared to be the one to set that descent into the tail into motion.

At least in Kohli, India had a man whose tempo in such circumstances could be trusted. On his team's better days, and in spite of his formidable tournament haul of 765 runs at 95.62, his ruthless devotion to run-making had been mistaken for a weakness. Now his 56-ball fifty was the bedrock of his team's recovery, albeit the reaction to his latest landmark was a pent-up roar that merely exacerbated the anxious hubbub that had preceded it.

But Australia's magnificent attack could not be denied, especially after Cummins had seized on his opponents' visible reticence to smuggle through a churn of change bowlers. Between them, Maxwell, Head and Marsh burgled ten overs for 44, a perfect holding pattern that bought back options for the back end of the innings.

That included the return of the captain himself for the 29th over. With the third ball of his second spell, Cummins hit an awkward length with his short ball, and Kohli looked genuinely emotional as he under-edged onto his stumps with an angled bat, glared at the length from which it had lifted, and glanced over his shoulder before trudging off, as if assessing the pull shot he had chosen to keep in his locker.

KL Rahul endured, but was scarcely unable to unfurl either, even though he did break a 97-ball sequence without a boundary by lobbing Maxwell over his shoulder through fine leg for four, the longest such barren spell for any team in this tournament other than Netherlands, and India's longest between overs 11-50 since 1999.

But on 66, he and the lower order came face to face with another threat that India's own seamers would be forced to do without. In preparing a visibly dry and abrasive deck for this final, the curators had opened the possibility of reverse-swing, and few teams have more eager exponents than Australia. Starc, from round the wicket, straightened an unplayable delivery into Rahul's edge and through to the keeper.

Though Ravindra Jadeja is renowned as a scrapper in such circumstances, his promotion to No.6 couldn't contend with Hazlewood's similarly late movement. After surviving one review for caught-behind he succumbed to the very next ball for 6, at which point, India's easy progress to the final fully caught up with them. With no situational experience to fall back on - and no pace in the wicket with which to access his inverted V from fine leg to deep third - Suryakumar Yadav ground out 18 from 27 before lobbing Hazlewood to the keeper, by which stage he'd faced just five balls out of a possible 17 in his ninth-wicket stand with Kuldeep Yadav.

Kuldeep and Mohammed Siraj kept the innings alive to the final ball, but the mood within the stadium was never able to emerge from its funk. Australia had come with a plan, and the sure knowledge of what it truly takes to win the biggest title in the sport. Ahmedabad turned blue alright, but only with a wistful sense of what might have been.

Ricky Ponting's Bold Combined India-Australia Test XI Selections: A Surprise for the World Test Championship Final

Ricky Ponting's combined India-Australia Test XI selections for the World Test Championship Final surprise everyone.

Australian cricket icon Ricky Ponting bucked expectations and reputation-based selections by choosing a combined XI from the strong lineups of India and Australia ahead of the ICC World Test Championship final. Known for his keen cricketing insight, Ponting decided to build his unique side based on recent performance.

Rohit Sharma is supported as captain by Ponting.

Ponting's selection of Rohit Sharma and Usman Khawaja, top of the list, has granted the combined Test XI a sense of balance. While Rohit's leadership qualities and amount of captaincy experience convinced Ponting to choose him as the team captain, Khawaja's previous matches showed him to be a consistent performer, earning him a well-deserved opening slot.

Rohit is the perfect candidate to lead the team from the front, not just because of his excellent leadership record but also because of his propensity for scoring huge runs in crucial games. His time leading the Mumbai Indians franchise in the IPL has greatly benefited the group. Ponting made a well-considered choice, and one can only hope that Rohit and Khawaja's left-right combo can give the team's fortunes the much-needed lift.

Ponting praised Rohit's extraordinary leadership abilities and emphasised his significant contribution to India's triumph over Australia in a Test series earlier this year. The former Australian captain also praised Rohit's recent performance in tests, praising, in particular, his stunning century on a difficult wicket that distinguished him from other candidates. Rohit's performance in the IPL may not have been the finest, but he showed some signs of form during the test series with Australia.

Bowling strategy of Ponting

Ponting was forced to consider the extraordinary skills of Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc while choosing the bowling assault. Due to his dependability and effect, Cummins—regarded as a premier fast bowler worldwide—was an obvious pick for Ponting. Ponting praised Starc's improvement over the past year, calling it some of his most excellent Test cricket forms yet.

Given that the primary selection factor for Ponting was Mohammed Shami's IPL performance, choosing Shami, a red-ball specialist, for the next matches was unquestionably a bold choice. Ponting, a successful and seasoned coach, chose the red-ball expert for various reasons. Recent IPL performances by Shami demonstrated his talent, commitment, and pressure tolerance.

It's difficult to ignore the superb shape when considering these characteristics necessary for success in every game style. Shami also possesses a lot of experience that will benefit the club, particularly in games that call for excellent performance under duress. Ponting's choice was, therefore, just and founded on merit, notwithstanding the disparity between the various forms.

Nathan Lyon, who many batters from the subcontinent have complimented for his ability to bother them on turning surfaces, was Ponting's choice, showing that he was focused on the spin department. Lyon was an excellent pick for Ponting because of his knowledge and abilities. The Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has joined the spin team with Lyon.

Jadeja's confidence has been further strengthened by his outstanding IPL season with the Chennai Super Kings. Jadeja is an essential squad member due to his adaptability and style-moulding abilities. The addition of Lyon and Jadeja to the spin squad will put pressure on the opposition's batters.

An effective middle order

Any cricket team's middle order is said to be its supporting cast, and this specific team's present roster certainly lives up to expectations. They have a strong quartet of seasoned batsmen who can both anchor and accelerate the innings, including Marnus Labuschagne, Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, and Ravindra Jadeja.

Additionally, Alex Carey's position as the wicketkeeper gives their batting order more depth because he is a dependable hitter. They also possess some of the finest excellent bowling in the world, which is as deadly. The opposition will undoubtedly have their job cut out with such a potent batting and bowling unit when facing this side.

Ponting's selection criteria for the combined XI may appear strange, but he has good reason to believe that the squad can defeat any foe. He has created a lineup that can ignite the World Test Championship final by brilliantly fusing seasoned talent with recent form. Ponting's strategy is a welcome change from the standard selection method and can potentially change the course of the game in the future.

With the greatest of the best competing against one more in the World Test Championship championship round, the match is already shaping up to be exciting. With Ponting's unique perspective, the anticipation has only grown. Read more cricket news and updates at Indibet India.

Travis Head dropped, selection, team, squad, Mark Taylor

Mark Taylor has urged Australia’s selectors to give Travis Head a chance to overturn his inadequate Test record in Asia in the second match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. Selectors sprung a shock when they axed Head for the first Test of the Indian series, despite the fact his tally of 525 runs over the most recent Australian summer was only bettered by Marnus Labuschagne. Matthew Renshaw…

Bienvenue dans la «capitale du tigre» de Nagpur pour le deuxième jour du premier test entre l'Inde et l'Australie dans le Border-Gavaskar Trophy.Le premier jour a eu toute l'intrigue, la controverse, la concurrence féroce et le beau chahut que nous attendons du cricket sous-continental. Les deux équipes ont nommé des débutants passionnants - Todd Murphy, un off-spinner de 22 ans pour l'Australie, et le phénomène T20 de 32 ans, Suryakumar Yadav, pour l'Inde.L'Australie a également lâché une bombe en lâchant le grandiloquent Travis Head. Malgré 525 courses à 87,50 lors de l'été à domicile, sa moyenne de 21,30 sur sept tests en Asie était suffisante pour que les sélecteurs séparent Head du XI et ramènent Peter Handscomb et Matthew Renshaw de l'exil en tant que nouveaux n ° 5 et 6.Avant de remporter le tirage au sort, Pat Cummins a exhorté ses hommes à "embrasser le chaos". Ils l'ont pris beaucoup trop au pied de la lettre.David Warner et Usman Khawaja étaient de retour dans les hangars en 13 balles, défaits par le rythme et le rebond (et peut-être l'âge). Comme on pouvait s'y attendre, Steve Smith et Marnus Labuschagne ont ramassé les morceaux et se sont mis à reconstruire les manches. Mais avec leurs licenciements rapides après le déjeuner, la décision de l'Australie de supprimer Head leur a explosé au visage. Dans des conditions sur mesure pour un créateur de coups et un contre-attaquant, ils ont plutôt obtenu Matthew Renshaw et un gros canard doré.Alex Carey avait l'air le meilleur des frappeurs, balayant sa première balle pendant quatre et changeant sa main jusqu'à ce qu'il parie une fois de trop sur 37. Resté avec seulement la queue, Peter Handscomb a peut-être montré trop de foi aux lapins verts baggy, tamponnant des simples quand il aurait peut-être mieux fait de se balancer vigoureusement. En fin de compte, c'était trop peu trop tard car l'ordre inférieur de l'Australie s'est effondré, tous pour 177.Lorsque Rohit Sharma a traîné Pat Cummins pendant trois fours successifs au premier over, l'intention était claire : attaquer et continuer à attaquer car tôt ou tard les démons du terrain se déchaîneront et il y aura une balle avec votre nom dessus. L'Inde a dûment battu le record à 77-1, à seulement 100 points de retard, avec seulement la perte de KL Rahul au profit d'un charmant attrapé et joué par le jeune Todd Murphy. Ce seul licenciement d'un jeune fileur - à la suite d'un pétillant cinq pour Ravi Jadeja - est la lueur d'espoir que l'Australie prendra dans ce qui devrait être une deuxième journée divertissante de ce test.Les sujetsÉquipe d'Australie de cricketÉquipe d'Inde de cricketCriquetsport AustraliePlus de rapportsRéutiliser ce contenu

A see-sawing Boxing Day Test at the MCG is heading into territory rarely seen these days. A fifth-day finish and all results possible, with varying degrees of probability.Australia have earned a handsome lead - 333 with one wicket standing - after recovering from a wobble early in their second innings. India had looked in a promising position on Sunday - they had the hosts 91 for 6 - but they struggled to get through the tail and will have to break the record for the highest successful chase at the MCG to win the Test.Marnus Labuschagne, who top-scored for Australia with 70 off 139 balls, believed his team had always been ahead in the game. They took a first-innings lead of 105 and were able to build on it with crowd favourites Scott Boland and Nathan Lyon putting up a 55-run partnership for the last wicket."I felt like we were probably ahead of the game just the whole way," Labuschagne said. "I was sitting up at the top with our batting coach Michael Di Venuto and I was just watching every ball. We're scrapping for runs, there was overthrows, leg byes, running twos, that last bit had everything. I mean we even had the game finished with a no-ball wicket into a last ball four, so I mean people that say Test cricket isn't exciting, I mean I'm a player and I was watching and I was excited."The natural wear and tear of the pitch as a Test match goes into the fifth day has brought a new challenge for the batters for the first time in this series."As the game's gone on the bounce has got less and more inconsistent," Labuschagne said, wearing a bandage on his right arm from where an Akash Deep ball kicked up and hit him. "So we're getting more balls hitting the stumps, more balls skidding through and we're getting that coming through on the data. And that's probably the major difference. The seam movement's probably been the same [throughout the game] but just the amount of bounce is significantly lower so that makes for pretty tricky batting there. More balls are hitting the stumps from a shorter length, balls are skidding through, few balls shot up today."India understand the challenge but prefer keeping that in the back of their mind as they look to correct the mistakes they made in the first innings, when they lost many wickets in a heap and needed to be rescued from 191 for 6 by a maiden Test century from Nitish Kumar Reddy."About the pitch, I feel like you need to get one or two good partnerships, I feel like from the first day the movement was there off the pitch," Reddy said. "The pitch is doing something and we can see later on the fourth day it was doing a little bit more, but we don't need to put more pressure like the pitch is doing this or that, we need to go instantly according to the situation."Does it help that India have a century-maker in their ranks as they prepare for a big chase? "Obviously when I come to the second-innings batting, it's a fresh innings, I can't start my innings from 100," Reddy said. "So it's a fresh innings, I have to start from starting, how I approached in the first innings, I have to be the same thing, and let's see what the team plan, and according to that we'll plan, and I think I have to leave the 100 behind and start the fresh innings."We'll come back strong in batting order, what we have done in the first innings, we'll rectify the mistakes … we have to first take the last wicket and then we'll plan accordingly."

[ad_1] Ravi Ashwin bowling in the nets. Photo: Debasis Sen This is not an a criticism of Washington Sundar. He is a talented young man and will surely play many more Test matches for India going forward. But this is certainly an argument in favour of Ravichandran Ashwin playing the Adelaide Test. Ashwin, needless to say, is India’s premier spinner – 530 Test wickets stand testimony. His performances in Adelaide – 16 wickets in the three Tests he has played – are also extremely decent. On a wicket which Nathan Lyon claims will assist spinners late into the match, Ashwin could be handy for India. He has done well against Steve Smith, Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne in the past, and will be every bit prepared if given an opportunity. On Wednesday, Ashwin was the first to the nets. Alongside Nitish Kumar Reddy, he batted for a lengthy stint and then bowled as well. While it is true that Sundar adds batting depth, it is also true that Ashwin is no mug with the bat. He has played a lot of impactful knocks, and his effort in Sydney in 2021 will forever be one of the best match-saving innings played for India. On a wicket which should suit him more than Perth, is there a case for playing India’s best spinner? I argue that there is. With Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma back in the ranks at No. 3 and, possibly, No. 5 for India, the team has much more batting depth. Devdutt Padikkal and Dhruv Jurel are still inexperienced at this level, and have hardly played in Australia. Rohit and Gill add experience and heft to the batting, and that’s where Ashwin becomes relevant. With Reddy doing better than expected, India’s dependence on Sundar is less than it was in Perth. And Ashwin can inflict more damage as a specialist spinner. His record says as much, and needless to say, he is waiting for the chance. For More Sports Related Content Click Here Ashwin ahead of the Perth Test (PC: Debasis Sen) With Ashwin, you always get two things. The first, of course, is fight. Come what may, he will scrap. At no point will you see Ashwin give up. And against Australia, that’s a fantastic quality to have. Given how Smith had played him in the past, he devised a plan and successfully executed it in 2021. He knows Smith, Labuschagne and Khawaja are the key, and he will also know that his role will be that of a support bowler. The second thing about Ashwin is how he picks up the smallest of cues that batters give him. By his own admission, he wasn’t doing so against Smith. And that’s when he paused, and decided to do a deep dive. He needed to see what Smith was giving him and use it to his advantage. Against an Australian top and middle order with multiple left-hand batters, Ashwin will surely come in handy. On a day three or day-four wicket, India can rely on him not just for breakthroughs, but also to keep the pressure on the Australian batters. Will India go for Ashwin’s vast experience? While we will only know that on the morning of the Test match on December 6, suffice to say that someone with 530 Test wickets warming the bench tells you much about the talent in this Indian team. If India does go to Ashwin, it will be a bold call and possibly a definitive one. Also Read: Has Jasprit Bumrah got inside Australian heads?
