Gabba witnessed a Test match full of action and interesting moments for the third Test between Australia and India (AUS vs IND). Australia had a good score of 445 runs in their first innings, but Jasprit Bumrah produced a match-winning bowling show, claiming 6 wickets for 76 runs. In the end, India struggled on the third day of the play at 51/4. KL Rahul was unbeaten on 33* while Rohit Sharma had not even opened his account.
Bumrah responded to reporters post the third day's end and came with a very witty answer regarding the batting conditions of Gabba. When asked to comment on the batting performance, the bowler himself replied that the reporter should "Google his batting record" for better perspective. The response left everyone in the room in splits.
Here's how the conversation went:
Reporter: "Hi, Jasprit. What do you think about the batting? Though not the right guy to ask this question, what's your take on the batting of the team given the conditions here at the Gabba?"
Bumrah: "That is an interesting question. You are questioning my batting ability. Google who has scored the most runs in an over in Tests. That is a joke, but that is a different matter."
Bumrah jokingly says he is the only cricket player who has got most of his runs off an over in Test cricket. In the fifth Test against England, at Edgbaston, in 2022, Bumrah made it to history books when he hammered 35 runs off a single over bowled by Stuart Broad.
In that memorable over:
Though a bowling specialist, Bumrah's batting heroics in that game proved that he can make contributions in the most unlikeliest of ways, leaving everyone with an unforgettable memory from cricket history.
