Jasprit Bumrah delivered a masterclass in bowling, leaving Australia's batsmen in a fix during the Boxing Day Test. Despite his valiant efforts, including a four-wicket haul, Australia's lower order managed to erect a formidable lead over their Indian counterparts.

By the close of the fourth day, Australia stood at 228 for nine, putting pressure on India's captain, Rohit Sharma, whose team struggled at 156 for 8 at one point.
