Sat Dec 28 02:10:00 UTC 2024: ## India Stumbles in Third Day of Test Against Afghanistan: Kohli Fined, Bumrah Records Unique Feat
**NEW DELHI** – Day three of the India-Afghanistan Test match saw India trailing by 136 runs, a stark contrast to Afghanistan’s massive 491-run deficit after Day 2. The match, delayed by 2 hours and 44 minutes, witnessed a mix of on-field drama and record-breaking performances.
Jasprit Bumrah achieved a unique feat, although the specifics weren’t detailed in the provided text. However, his performance was contrasted with a controversial incident involving Virat Kohli. Kohli received a 20% fine and a demerit point for a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct following an on-field confrontation, likely with an Afghan player. The Afghan player, identified only as “Konstas”, remarked on Bumrah’s youth and inexperience after conceding a record 18 runs in one of Bumrah’s overs.
India’s struggles were further highlighted by the loss of key wickets, including that of Shubman Gill (whose dismissal was described as unfortunate by commentator Abhishek Nair), and the early departure of Kohli and Jaiswal, putting India under pressure. The match continues with India facing a significant challenge to recover from their deficit.
