4th Test: Cummins Removes Rohit, Rahul As India Trail Australia By 423 Runs At Tea
Skipper Pat Cummins: Skipper Pat Cummins struck twice to dismiss Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul as India reached 51/2 in 15 overs, trailing Australia by 423 runs at tea on day two of Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday.
After Australia were bowled out for 474 in their first innings, Cummins ensured Australia maintained its control on the match by taking out Rohit cheaply and then dismissing Rahul with a corker of a delivery at the stroke of tea.
With Yashasvi Jaiswal looking comfortable in his 23 not out, India will need big scores and partnerships to make 275, the mark they need to avoid a follow-on. India’s innings began on a bad note as Rohit, opening the batting for the first time in the series, played a one-leg half-hearted pull off Cummins, and the top-edge was easily caught by mid-on to be out for three.
