Ahead of the third Test match against Australia in Brisbane beginning Saturday, Jasprit Bumrah changed his style of play by bowling a handful of leg-spin deliveries during practice.
Jasprit Bumrah switched to spin, bowling a handful of leg-spin deliveries during practice ahead of the third Test against Australia, which begins on Saturday in Brisbane. In a video released by journalist Bharat Sundaresan on X (previously Twitter), Bumrah was seen bowling two leg-spinners with a short run-up before returning to his full run-up and unleashing full power against the hitters. There were some doubts about Bumrah’s condition after he struggled during the second Test match, but the fast bowler appeared to be in great shape as he bowled brilliantly in practice against KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Meanwhile, former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden urged Indian hitters to bat “better and for time” during the third Brisbane Test against Australia, which begins on December 14.
After a dismal batting effort against the pink ball in Adelaide, Team India would be looking for large runs and a series lead against the Australians in Brisbane.
Jasprit Bumrah and R Ashwin began with a few leg breaks, but he is now running hot and bowling at full force, being a real pain in the ass for KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
The hosts overcame a crushing defeat to the visitors by 295 runs at Perth’s Optus Stadium, where Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, and Yashasvi Jaiswal all made outstanding contributions. Red-ball wizards Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins bowled brilliantly, and Travis Head’s counterattacking century helped them crush India by 10 wickets while chasing down an incredibly easy target of 19 runs.
Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and KL Rahul all had outstanding performances in Perth, scoring 487/6 in the second innings. However, since the beginning of their home Test season against Bangladesh and New Zealand, Team India’s batting has mainly appeared listless.

Seven times, they were skittled out for fewer than 200 runs. Only twice have India scored more than 300, once at Perth during the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and once against New Zealand, when they were 462-all out.
