Seems like the pressure of sealing the 3rd Test to take a winning lead in the 4-match Test series of Border Gavaskar Trophy took over Team India. The Indian batting line up collapsed completely in the 3rd Test being played at Indore. And Aussies have dismissed the Indian team on a small total of 109 runs.

Australia will now have to score more than 110 runs to take a lead in the 3rd Test of Border Gavaskar Trophy. Half of the Indian team was sent back to the pavilion in just one hour and when Indian fans thought that former skipper Virat Kohli and KS Bharat were building a partnership, Aussie skipper Steve Smith sent in Todd Murphy to dismiss Kohli.

Steve Smith captaincy and fielding approaches proved to be far more better than Pat Cummins and seems like the skipper had decided to play aggressive on Indian pitches now. India has a lead of 2-0 in the 4-match Test series. But seems like Smith has decided to draw the series as they can’t win it now.

IND vs AUS: Australia’s bowling

Australian spinner Matthew Kuhnemann turned out to be a nightmare for the Indian team as he took 5 wickets of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Shreyas, Ravichandran Ashwin and Umesh Yadav. He gave only 16 runs in 9 over and out of these 2 were maiden.

Second most wicket taker is Nathan Lyon. The Aussie bowler took 3 wickets of Pujara, Bharat and Jadeja and gave out just 11.2 runs in 35 overs.

The decision to bat first after winning the toss in Indore did not prove to be right for Rohit Sharma. Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, Shreyas Iyer, Cheteshwar Pujara, and captain Rohit Sharma were dismissed within an hour of the start of the match.

IND vs AUS 3rd Test: India’s top order collapsed like cards

India won the toss and elected to bat first, but Rohit Sharma’s bet backfired. The captain himself could not do anything amazing and lost his wicket on a total score of 27 runs. After this, Gill, who came in place of KL Rahul, could not stay at the crease for much, he too got out after scoring 21 runs. India’s entire top order looked helpless in front of the Australian spinners, while Australia’s spinners took full advantage of the turning pitch. Matthew Kuhemann and Nathan Lyon took 3-3 wickets while Todd Murphy got one wicket, the most important one of former skipper Virat Kohli.

Due to this injury, Bumrah could not play Asia Cup and T20 World Cup last year. At the same time, it is almost certain that India will reach the final of the World Test Championship. In such a situation, Bumrah will not be able to play even in the final of the World Test Championship to be held at The Oval from June 7.

The BCCI medical staff at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru is serious about Bumrah’s case and is helping him in every way. Along with this, complete treatment is also being given to the Indian pacer. In such a situation, the NCA staff suggested Bumrah to undergo surgery in his lower back.

Keeping in mind the ODI World Cup to be held in India in October-November, BCCI may soon take a decision on surgery and other options after talking to NCA and Bumrah.
