Australia gained a significant lead over Team India in the second test of Border Gavaskar Trophy. While Team India's first innings was limited to 180 runs, the Australian team scored 337 runs in the first innings and took a lead of 157 runs. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj took four wickets each for Team India. However, in this too, Bumrah was more effective, who troubled the Australian batsmen to some extent. Even Bumrah did something which fulfilled the wish of Harbhajan Singh who was commentating in this match.

Bhajji said- If I were there, I would have given you a blow on my forehead.

This incident happened in the last over of the second session of the second day of the Adelaide Test. Indian vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah bowled the last over of the second session during the Australian innings. In this over, Bumrah took the wicket of Australian captain Pat Cummins on the last ball. However, just before this wicket, Cummins had hit a powerful four on Bumrah's ball.

This four hit by Bumrah was not liked by former Indian bowler Harbhajan Singh, who was doing Hindi commentary during this time. Bhajji was unhappy with Cummins' batting. In such a situation, he said that if I had been a fast bowler, my blood would have boiled and I would have bowled the next ball on his temple. Bhajji wanted Bumrah to bowl a bouncer the next ball. He did not bowl a bouncer but made Harbhajan happy by taking the wicket of Cummins on the very next ball.

Bumrah took four wickets

After the Perth Test, Jasprit Bumrah also bowled brilliantly in the Adelaide Test. He took a total of eight wickets in the Perth Test. Jaspreet had opened his claws in the first innings while he had taken three wickets in the second innings. During Australia's first innings in the Adelaide Test, Bumrah sent four batsmen including captain Cummins to the pavilion. The wickets of Nathan McSweeney, Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja also came in his account.

After this, Mohammad Siraj soon restricted Australia to 337 runs by taking the remaining two wickets at the beginning of the third session. However, in response to this, Team India's batting was not good even in the second innings and by the end of the day's play, it had scored only 128 runs and lost 5 wickets, while it is still 29 runs behind Australia's lead.
