Watch: Bumrah & Siraj Celebrations After Khawaja and Konstas Wickets, Smith Replied

We’re watching the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and there will be an epic battle between the Indian bowlers and Australian batters. On the fourth day of the 4th Test match at the MCG, Mohammed Siraj took the wicket of Usman Khawaja and then put his finger to his mouth, signaling the crowd to quiet down. However, when Steve Smith came to the crease, he responded by making the same gesture after successfully defending a ball from Siraj. This moment encapsulates the fierce rivalry of IND vs AUS in the BGT.

Jasprit Bumrah, with precision and pace, exacted a form of cricketing justice by dismissing Sam Konstas. Earlier in the game, Konstas had celebrated dismissively after getting Virat Kohli out, a move that caught the attention of many. In a fitting turn of events, Bumrah’s delivery found the edge of Konstas’ bat, sending him back to the pavilion for just 8 runs. This moment not only showcased Bumrah’s skill but also highlighted the sweet taste of cricketing revenge on the pitch.

The Indian cricket team continued their innings from the previous evening, adding an additional 10 runs before concluding at a total of 369. Nitish Kumar Reddy was pivotal, contributing 114 runs before attempting to clear the boundary off Nathan Lyon’s bowling but was caught at long off.

In the bowling attack, Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep opened for India. There was an early miss when Usman Khawaja was dropped by Yashasvi Jaiswal. However, Bumrah made amends by dismissing Sam Konstas, who had earlier celebrated aggressively against Virat Kohli. Konstas managed only 8 runs before being bowled by Bumrah. Following this, Mohammed Siraj secured the wicket of Khawaja before the lunch break.
