It seems that Team India's star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is liking Australia very much.
How dangerous he is proving to be on Australian pitches has troubled the host team. After leading Team India to victory with his brilliant performance in the Perth Test, Bumrah's attitude seems different. Not only is he celebrating the wicket in an aggressive manner, but now he has also started teasing. Yes, Bumrah is currently showing his different side in Australia, a glimpse of which was seen on the first day of the Day-Night Test in Adelaide, where Marnus Labuschagne and Bumrah had a funny exchange.

The day-night test match started in Adelaide from Friday 6 December. This is the second test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, in which Team India has already taken a 1-0 lead. However, the start of the second test was not good for Team India and it could score only 180 runs in the first innings. In response, Australia lost the first wicket early but after this Marnus Labuschagne and Nathan McSweeney took over the innings.

Bumrah teased Labuschagne

Once again Bumrah started taking wickets for Team India. The star Indian pacer sent opener Usman Khawaja back to the pavilion in the 11th over of the innings. After this, Marnus Labuschagne came to the crease, who was going through poor form for a long time. In the last test, he was seen struggling especially badly against Bumrah. This time too his start was similar and he was facing difficulty in facing the Indian fast bowlers.

Something similar happened in the 13th over, when Labuschagne defended Bumrah's ball and started saying something while laughing. Bumrah also immediately picked up the ball and kept staring at it for some time. Then on the very next ball, Bumrah hit Labuschagne's bat and this time before Labuschagne could say anything, Bumrah moved towards him and started teasing him. This video of both has become quite a hit on social media and fans are liking this style of Bumrah.

Labuschagne's fighting innings

Apart from these few balls, Labuschagne batted strongly this time and did not give up easily. By staying at the crease for a long time, he took an important step towards regaining his rhythm, which is very important for him and Australia in this series. Labuschagne, along with young opener Nathan McSweeney, handled the innings and did not allow the team to suffer any loss till the end of the day's play. Australia ended the first day on the score of 86 runs at the loss of 1 wicket.
