The Sydney Test turned into a spectacle of stump mic moments as Indian skipper Jasprit Bumrah and batter Sam Konstas faced off in a gripping contest. Virat Kohli added to the drama, urging Bumrah to bowl one more over to take Konstas’ wicket. When Konstas misjudged and swung wildly at a ball, Bumrah quipped, “No 10 jaisa khel raha hai” (He’s playing like a No.10 batter), sparking a wave of reactions.

Match Update:
- Tea Break Score: India hold a slender lead of 4 runs, but Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness remains a concern.
- Bumrah left the field after bowling just one over in the post-lunch session and has been taken for scans.
- Despite the skipper’s absence, India managed to wrap up Australia’s innings for 181, thanks to stellar performances by Prasidh Krishna and Nitish Kumar Reddy.
- Prasidh picked up three vital wickets, including Steve Smith and the lone half-centurion Beau Webster.
- Nitish played a crucial supporting role, bagging two wickets to close the innings.
With a lot of life left in the pitch and the pendulum swinging between the two teams, the outcome of this match could hinge on how the Indian batting lineup performs in their second innings.
