IND vs AUS 4th Test Day 3 Live Cricket Score And Updates: India has made a comeback in the fourth test match on the basis of Nitish Kumar Reddy’s historic century. Nitish Reddy dominated the third day of the ongoing Boxing Day Test match in Melbourne. While Nitish scored the first century of his international career by coming in at number 8, Sundar scored a brilliant half century. There was a century partnership between the two. On Saturday, Nitish first saved India from follow-on and then made a century partnership with Washington Sundar for the eighth wicket and brought India into this match. Due to rain, the third day’s play had to be ended early. At the time of stumps, the Indian team had scored 358 runs for 9 wickets. Team India is currently 116 runs behind in response to Australia’s 474 runs with one wicket left. Nitish Reddy is unbeaten after scoring 105 runs, while Mohammad Siraj returned to the pavilion unbeaten after scoring 2 runs.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir’s move of leaving out Shubman Gill and playing two spinners in the fourth Test match seems to be backfiring. Ravindra Jadeja (78/3) and Washington Sundar (15/1) did not look effective. Steve Smith’s hook against fast bowler Mohammed Siraj was so brilliant that the Indian pacer was left stunned. However, Siraj did not sledge with this batsman who had gained momentum. However, it had no effect on the Australian supporters. They were seen continuously booing him and Virat Kohli.
Why was Shubman Gill dropped from the Boxing Day Test… India fielded 3 all-rounders in Melbourne, Rohit returned to the opening.
