Tue Dec 17 08:56:02 UTC 2024: ## Bumrah’s Big Hit Stuns Cummins as Hazlewood’s Injury Looms Large Over Australia
**Brisbane, Australia –** Jasprit Bumrah provided a thrilling moment on Day 4 of the third Test between Australia and India, smashing a towering six off Pat Cummins’ bowling. The impressive pull shot left the Australian captain visibly frustrated as India battled to avoid the follow-on. Bumrah and Akash Deep then forged a crucial partnership for the final wicket, successfully preventing the follow-on before bad light ended play prematurely at the Gabba.
However, the day was overshadowed by a significant blow to Australia. Veteran fast bowler Josh Hazlewood suffered a right calf strain during warm-ups and is expected to miss the remainder of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. Hazlewood bowled just one over before leaving the field due to pain and subsequent scans confirmed the injury. Cricket Australia announced that a replacement player will be named shortly. Hazlewood’s absence is a major setback for the Australian team.
