Brisbane:
Bumrah makes appeal to fans: Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah (jasprit bumrah) has asked the team to be patient after losing four wickets in the first innings of the ongoing third Test against Australia at Gabba. On a day when only 33.1 overs of play was possible due to rain, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood demolished the top order, leaving India at 51/4 in 17 overs, trailing Australia by 394 runs . From here, India need 194 runs to avoid follow-on, but the forecast of heavy rain in the next two days means that India can avoid going down 2-1 in the five-match series.

Bumrah told reporters in the press conference after the third day’s play, ‘As a team we do not point fingers at each other and we do not want to get into that mentality where we point fingers at each other that You should do this and that. We are going through a period of change as a team, because new players are coming and it is not easy to play cricket here. Bumrah, who took 6 wickets for 76 runs for India, again bowled brilliantly. He believes that it is difficult for inexperienced bowlers to perform well in different conditions in Australia. Fast bowlers Nitish Kumar Reddy and Harshit Rana made their Test debut in the current series, while Akash Deep is taking part in his first overseas tour.
Although Harshit impressed on his debut in Perth, his inexperienced performance in Adelaide resulted in a wicketless appearance and he had to make way for Akash, who bowled brilliantly in Brisbane and troubled Steve Smith, but only one wicket. achieved. Meanwhile, Reddy has taken wickets, but his performance with the bat has been more impressive.
Jassi said, “It is my job to help others. I have played a little more than them, so I am trying to help them. We are a new team, new players have come into the team and we should be considerate towards them.” And they should be given the support so that they can learn from the experience. The star pacer said, ‘Last time we came here, we had a slightly more experienced team, but this is the journey that every team will go through, all these experiences will help them and they will see a lot of improvement in the future.’
He said, ‘But this is the journey which, as I said, all players have to go through. No one is born with all the experiences, no one is born with all the skills. You keep learning, you keep finding new ways and I am sure you will keep getting better. When asked about Siraj’s performance, Bumrah said, ‘We have talked, but he had this conversation with me before coming here. When we came to Perth, and also in the last match, he looked in a very good mood. He was bowling well and took a lot of wickets. In this match, I think I will give him credit that he faced some trouble, but he still continued bowling and helped the team.
Bumrah said, ‘This is because he knew that if he went in and did not bowl, the team would be under pressure. So he has a very good attitude and a fighting spirit that the team likes. I personally like that too – that he is ready to fight and always gives his best for the team. So I think that’s the biggest positive thing for any cricketer going forward – to give your best on the field.
