Day 2 of the ongoing fifth Test between Australia and India saw the visitors make a comeback in the game. After the Indian team was limited to a score of 185 runs in the first innings, the side put in a good performance with the ball as Australia came out to bat.

One of the most talked-about moments came when Jasprit Bumrah came out to bowl to youngster Sam Konstas. It is worth noting that Konstas got on Bumrah’s nerves in the latter stages of day 1 by sledging him, and day 2 began with Konstas getting hit on the body by Bumrah’s deliveries in an attempt to hit the pacer out of the ground.

However, not finding success, Konstas settled into a defensive stance in the first session of day 2. Virat Kohli, always vocal on the field, said, “Yes Bumrah, there’s your man now,” poking fun at Konstas. Furthermore, Bumrah decided to join in and say that Konstas is playing like a No.10 batter.

Talking of the game, after India were bundled out for 185 runs in the first innings, the Aussies looked to be in control of the game. However, the visitor’s bowling attack prevented the Aussies from putting on a big total on the board. After Khawaja’s dismissal on two runs, Konstas departed on a score of 23 as well.

Marnus Labuschagne was sent packing for just two runs, with Steve Smith adding 33 runs on the board. Things went from bad to worse for Australia when Travis Head departed for four runs. Beau Webster was the highest run getter for the hosts in the first innings with 57 runs to his name.

Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna were excellent with the ball, taking three wickets each. Bumrah struck twice, with Nitish Kumar Reddy taking two as Australia were bundled out for 181 as India maintained a four-run lead into the second innings.
