Jasprit Bumrah casually flaunted his test batting world record during a press meet when he was asked about India’s batting situation against Australia in Gabba.

The reporter said, “Hi, Jasprit. What is your assessment of the batting, although you are not the best person to answer the question, but what do you think about the situation of the team, considering the conditions in Gabba?”

Bumrah doged the question by giving a witty reply and reminded the reported about his test batting record. Bumrah had smashed 35 runs in an over against England during Stuart Broad’s over in 2022.

“It’s an interesting question. But, you are questioning my batting ability. You should use Google and see who has got the most number of runs in a Test over. But, jokes apart. That’s another story”, he said.

Following up on this viral video, Google India responded with a post on X. “I only believe in Jassi Bhai,” it wrote with a video of Bumrah’s comment.

Meanwhile, another day of rain at the Gabba in Brisbane, almost ensuring the third cricket test between Australia and India would end in a soggy draw. After four days of play, India was 252-9 in its first innings, trailing Australia by 193 runs, which scored 445 in its first innings. More importantly, India avoided having to follow-on with a late flurry of tail-end runs in fading light Tuesday, forcing Australia to bat again and almost ensuring a draw by the end of the fifth day on Wednesday.

With the five-test series level at 1-1 and Brisbane touted as being a pivotal test in the series, it has turned out to be anything but. Rain delay after rain delay has spoiled the Gabba match and forced Cricket Australia to refund tickets to about 35,000 spectators who attended the first day because not enough overs were bowled.

KL Rahul top-scored for India with 84 runs before being caught by Steve Smith off Nathan Lyon’s bowling. A 10th-wicket partnership Tuesday between Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep took India from 213-9 to 252-9 at stumps. Australia will have to take one more wicket on the fifth day and either bat again or declare their innings for nil and risk losing the test if India can chase down the remaining runs.

India won the first test by 295 runs at Perth, while Australia came back to win the second day-night test in Adelaide by 10 wickets.
