The fourth test match of Border Gavaskar Trophy is going on in Melbourne. The Indian team has shown a brilliant game in reply to Australia's 474 runs. At one time Team India had lost 6 wickets for 191 runs and was far behind in the game. But in this hour of crisis, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar took charge of the Indian team and kept it in the match. However, when Sundar and Reddy were batting, something happened that caught everyone's attention. During this, India got four runs on one ball. Now you will say what is surprising in this. But when you understand the whole matter, you will also be surprised.
There was neither a four on this ball nor was the ball wide. Nor did the ball go to the boundary. Even after this, Sundar and Reddy scored four runs on one ball. Actually both of them had completed four runs by running.This funny incident happened during the 85th over of India's innings. The 85th over was bowled by Australia's legendary bowler Mitchell Starc. Washington Sundar was on strike on the last ball. He flipped the ball from Starc towards mid-wicket and ran for runs. Sundar ran not just one or two but all four runs with Nitish.
So in this way, without a four and a wide, India got four runs.The Indian team was falling apart at one time. After the second day's play, Team India had lost five wickets for 164 runs. Rishabh Pant lost his wicket at the beginning of the third day's play. After this Ravindra Jadeja also went cheaply. India had lost 7 wickets for 221 runs. However, from here Reddy and Sundar took the responsibility and played excellent innings. Sundar contributed 50 runs in 162 balls.
There was a record partnership of 127 runs between Nitish and Sundar.
Sundar was out as the eighth wicket. After this Nitish completed his century with the help of fours. This is the first century of Nitish's test career. Let us tell you that he made his debut in Test cricket through this series. Sundar was out as the eighth wicket. After this Nitish completed his century with the help of fours.
