AUS vs IND | Twitter reacts to Bumrah walk the talk by smashing Cummins after Press Conference humor

India’s early hiccup of losing captain Rohit Sharma for ten was neutralised by KL Rahul’s gritty 84 before Ravindra Jadeja showed up with the bat. However, the Aussies managed to turn the tables after a rain-forced Tea break before India’s no. 10 and 11 consolidated an unbreakable partnership to see through the day’s play with a mix of caution and aggression.

The Men in Blue were 33 runs behind when Ravindra Jadeja followed suit Mohammed Siraj in a jiffy to leave Bumrah and Akash Deep against hunting Aussies. In times  of adversity, the  Indian vice-captain opted for a counter-attacking approach at the start by smashing a back of a length delivery down the leg side off Cummins on the first ball of the 68th over. The kookabura sat up nicely for the right-hander who made slight room and pulled it over deep backward square leg region for a maximum. On Revsportz’s Shubhayan Chakaraborty’s query during day three’s press conference, Bumrah joked about “questioning his batting ability” and suggested googling the player to hit most runs in an over of Test cricket. Seeing the Indian spearhead transcend his words into actions within 24 hours, the Twitterverse lauded Bumrah.
