In an intriguing post-lunch session on Day 4 of the WTC Final between India and Australia, the Australian team found themselves in a promising position despite losing six wickets. With a lead of over 380 runs, every run counted as they aimed to set a challenging target for the Indian side.
During Umesh Yadav’s over, an opportunity presented itself. Yadav, bowling from around the wicket, generated some out-seam movement and induced an outside edge off the bat of Alex Carey. The ball flew perilously between first slip and second slip, leaving both Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara unable to make a successful catch.
The missed opportunity was a moment of frustration for the Indian team as they sought to capitalize on every chance to dismiss the Australian batsmen. However, Carey’s fortunate escape allowed Australia to further strengthen their position in the match.
