New Delhi: On Day 2 of the third Test match against india in Brisbane, Australian batsman Travis Head maintained his outstanding form by amassing an incredible 152 runs.
Head was almost faultless during his innings, giving the indian bowlers, especially star pacer jasprit bumrah, little opportunity to get close to him. virat kohli, rishabh pant, and ravindra jadeja were seen planning how to get rid of the in-form opener in a social media video that went viral. kohli suggested that Jadeja bowl a little faster, which pant agreed with.
But the strategy was ineffective at the time. Head scored an outstanding 152 runs off 160 deliveries, including 18 fours, before being eventually removed by Bumrah.Australia concluded day two of the third Test match against india with a commanding 405-7 at stumps on sunday thanks to a spectacular fourth-wicket combination between century-makers Travis Head and Steve Smith.
india seems to have little chance of winning the match and can only realistically strive for a draw because rain is expected over the following three days.
india got off to a great start on Saturday, capturing three wickets in the first hour after the majority of the first day's play washed out.
Even though speed leader jasprit bumrah had a fantastic stint (5-72) after tea with the second new ball, Head and Smith were still able to knock india out of the match.
Head and Smith's centuries and Carey's explosive 70 from 88 balls helped australia to a high total. While the rest were forced to work hard, bumrah was clearly India's best bowler, taking six wickets. Although much more slowly than anticipated, Australia's overnight total of 40 runs in 16.1 overs keeps them well within control. australia will try to control the game moving forward with three tall pacers in their squad.
india lost wicket after wicket in the first half of their second innings. india has benefited somewhat from the rain, which has disrupted Australia's fast bowlers' rhythm. India's score at the end of the third day is 48–4.
