Mohammed Siraj and Marnus Labuschagne changed the bails at the batsman's end, Australian star batsman ran away from the field in the next over.

Sports News. With only 13.2 overs of play possible due to rain on the first day of the ongoing third India-Australia Test in Brisbane, Jasprit dominated the first hour of the second day at the Gabba and picked up two crucial wickets for India. The 31-year-old fast bowler first dismissed Usman Khawaja (21) and then his opening partner Nathan McSweeney (9). Khawaja was caught behind the wicket by Pant, while Virat Kohli caught McSweeney on the third ball of the 19th over of Australia's first innings.

Australia's innings was in trouble after two batsmen were out in the first hour of the day's play. In this difficult situation, Steve Smith along with Marnus Labuschagne handled the innings and presented a tough challenge to the Indian bowlers.

Labuschagne conflict

Although Labuschagne failed to score boundaries, he succeeded in frustrating the Indian bowlers. Along with Smith, they made a partnership of 37 runs for the third wicket, but then Nitish Kumar Reddy dismissed Labuschagne. He was caught in the slips by Kohli after his innings of 12 runs in 55 balls.

fun with siraj

Before returning to the pavilion, Labuschagne had some fun with Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj. In the 33rd over, when Siraj bowled the ball, Labuschagne jokingly tried to change the bails. However, Siraj's actions enraged Labuschagne, and he also tried to change the bails in the same over.

Bell Swap Trick and Out

The video of this funny incident went viral on social media. But, Siraj's "bell swap trick" Showed his impact in the next over and Nitish took the valuable wicket of Labuschagne. This incident proved to be the key to success for the Indian bowling attack.

Australian team was faltering after scoring 75 runs  

At the time of Labuschagne's dismissal, the Australian team was struggling at 75 runs for 3 wickets in 33.2 overs. Labuschagne, Australia's highest run-scorer in the history of the World Test Championship (WTC), has been in very poor form for some time. He scored a half-century for the Baggy Greens in the second Test at the Adelaide Oval last week, but his numbers in Test cricket in 2024 have raised question marks over his place in the team.
