The Test match turned into ultimate drama as Jasprit Bumrah teased Marnus Laguschagne during the ongoing 2nd Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The hilarious interaction between the two players was fun to watch for the fans as they provided a whole new level of entertainment on day one.

In the 12th over of the Australian batting innings, Jasprit Bumrah bowled short of a length delivery in the middle as Labuschagne took the bottom-hand off and defended it back to the bowler. While doing this, the batter said, 'wait on' to the non-striker end player but Bumrah tried to throw the ball, playfully. 

Labuschagne looked at Bumrah and said, 'Come On,' to which the bowler just stood and watched him for a second and then smiled back and went back to his run-up. The next ball, Bumrah delivered and the ball went like a bullet past the batter. It was that moment when he bullied Labuschagne with a funny walk. The entire scene was absolute cinema for the viewers. It was a different attitude from Bumrah, which was visible during the second game. He was all pumped up throughout his spell and looked quite aggressive after dismissing Usman Khawaja. 

The first session didn't favour the Indian batters as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. In the day/night Test match, batters struggled against Mitchell Starc who was a different beast altogether. However, India managed to score 180 runs thanks to Nitish Reddy's world-class batting. The all-rounder played a reverse scoop against Scott Boland, which will be the highlight of the day. 

Mitchell Starc's bowling prowess in display against India

Australia's legendary bowler, Mitchell Starc, just keeps getting better with each passing day. The bowler claimed six wickets in the game, sending most of the batters back to the pavilion. It was Starc who dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal on the very first ball of the match. After that, he claimed Rahul's wicket.

Following that, it was Virat Kohli who fell prey to his bowling. Once the top order collapsed, the middle order was seen collapsing as well. Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant got out on 3 and 21 runs, respectively. However, Nitish Reddy was the best batter for India, scoring 42 runs in 54 balls.

Ashwin tried to extend his support from the other end but was dismissed by Starc again. Starc's other two wickets were Harshit Rana and Mohammed Siraj. Now, everything depends on Jasprit Bumrah and the bowling attack to pull off a miracle and dismiss Australia early.
