India vs Australia 4th Test Day 4: Talking points as Indian bowlers jolt entire Australian Team
Indian Team celebrates after taking a wicket.

The Australian openers walked the pitch with thumping chest as the day commenced and returned all out as the day concluded in the fourth Test in Brisbane. Due credit goes to young Indian bowlers, who, in the absence of senior players- Jasprit Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Shami, managed to put an exceptional display with the ball.

Day 4 ended with the commencement of India’s second innings, where India scored four runs without any loss of wicket. As India need 324 runs to win, we look at the talking points of the match.

Australian batsmen

Australian batsmen failed to put forth a desired show with the willow, and nearly all their players fell cheaply. Only two senior players David Warner and Steve Smith scored 48 and 55 runs respectively.

Shining Siraj

Mohammed Siraj made a maiden five-wicket haul, a dream for every bowler. He scalped three important wickets of Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, and Matthew Wade besides maintaining an economy of 3.7.

Terrific Thakur

Shardul Thakur rose to glory on Day 3 for his crucial 67-run knock and continued to steal the limelight even today. On Day 4, he showed his magic with the ball as he scalped four Australian wickets.
