Jasprit Bumrah remained out of luck as Hanuma Vihari and Rohit Sharma dropped regulation catches off his bowling on Day 4 of Sydney Test.
The luck didn't seem to favour Jasprit Bumrah at all during the Day 4 of the Sydney Test against Australia on Sunday. On the very second delivery of the day, Hanuma Vihari dropped a regulation catch off Bumrah's bowling at square leg.
In the second session, Bumrah found a thick edge off Australia captain Tim Paine's bat, but Rohit Sharma failed to hold on to the ball at first slip. The bowler couldn't help but bury his face in disappointment, as a couple of similar edges through the over saw the Australian captain scoring 10 runs off the over.
