Jasprit Bumrah has bowled lethally in the entire series. He has kept the Australian batsmen troubled. His excellent performance continued in the Melbourne Test also. He took 4 wickets in the first innings. In the second innings, the Indian team made a comeback in the match by giving continuous shocks to the Australian team. It became difficult for any batsman to stand in front of him. But Marnus Labuschagne was such a player whom he could not dismiss. Bumrah troubled him a lot. Labuschagne was being beaten continuously on his balls but kept saving again and again. Bumrah got upset about this and said such a thing in the live match, to which Labuschagne had no answer.

Labuschagne's talking band

Marnus Labuschagne is often seen sledging the players of the opposing team. He keeps saying something or the other while fielding as well as batting. But Bumrah troubled him during the second innings. The ball was passing near his bat every time. Many times he even avoided being LBW. His catches were also missed which means luck was on his side. Bumrah was upset by this. In the end he went to Labuschagne and said, 'I have probably never seen a cricketer as fortunate as you in my life.' Labuschagne had no answer to his taunt. That's why he remained silent.
