Ongoing entertainment Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 between Australia i India continues on Day 1 of the final Test match at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). This is evident with the dismissal of the Australian batsman Usman Khawaja com jasprit bumrah celebrated the wicket in an emphatic manner that lifted the team’s spirits after a horror show with the bat.
Jasprit Bumrah has hailed Usman Khawaja’s dismissal as the first day’s play ends
Australia came into bat in their first innings after India were bowled out for 185 runs in 72.2 overs. The Aussies got off to a dream start to the innings after the youngster Constas himself came out of the crease and smashed a boundary in the first over off Bumrah to try and assert his dominance over the Indian skipper. However, the 31-year-old had a plan of his own to destabilize the Australian openers.
Bumrah was determined to play the final of the day amid interruptions from Konstas, who engaged in a heated exchange with the Indian captain and Khawaja, who appeared to be deliberately delaying the day’s proceedings. But his plots did not bear fruit as Bumrah, on the last ball of the day, got rid of the experienced Khawaja who got out as the ball advanced on his bat, giving an easy catch to KL Rahul in the slips. After Khawaja’s dismissal, Bumrah, instead of celebrating the wicket with his teammates, went back to the non-strikers and looked at Konstas in a show of strength.
