"Now after their first innings loss or poor performance against the Indian bowlers, the Australian team thought that let us see through Bumrah and that's where you could see the clear game plan working in the title test match", Sanjay Bangar

Speaking exclusively to Star Sports, former India cricketer Sanjay Bangar spoke on how India’s top order collapsed on day 3 of the test match: I think at times you also have to look at what the opposition is doing better. Now after their first innings loss or poor performance against the Indian bowlers, the Australian team thought that let us see through Bumrah and that's where you could see the clear game plan working in the title test match wherein McSweeney and Labuschagne played out a crucial session so that their middle order can come in and cash in and that allowed Travis Head to play with a lot of freedom. That is something that the Indian top order should look, they should sort of start talking in the lines of, hey, let's try and get Cummins to bowl the fourth spell or Hazelwood get the fourth spell. Do they really have that sort of decisiveness to rattle us with the older ball? And those are the challenges that you have to give as a batting group to one another and try and get out of this rut because in four innings out of the five on this series, we've seen the same story happening again.
