India regain upper hand at end of day with Jasprit Bumrah leading the charge to unsettle home side. Skipper claims 4/17 to leave Australia reeling 67/7 at stumps.
Australian captain Pat Cummins applauded the gesture of the Pakistani cricket team presenting gifts and candies to host cricketers and their families, calling it ‘kind and thoughtful’.
Under Cummins, Australia retained the Ashes against arch-rivals England, won the World Test Championship Final against India, and lifted the ODI World Cup in 2023.
Great Australian cricketers like Ian Chappell have never complained about the playing conditions in India. They have always got on with the job and won.
We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
