He showcased his trademark resilience and brilliance, breaking a marathon 241-run partnership by dismissing the ever-reliable Steve Smith, reigniting hope for Team India.
Bumrah has become India’s go-to bowler in all formats, delivering match-winning performances both at home and abroad.

During the third Test match between India and Australia at the Gabba, India won the toss and opted to field first. The Australian side, after an early setback, showcased remarkable resilience as Steve Smith and Travis Head built a formidable 241-run partnership, stabilizing the innings and putting the hosts in a commanding position.
In the 83rd over, Indian seamer Jasprit Bumrah bowled a fuller length delivery outside the off stump with the new ball. The delivery tempted the Australian batter Steve Smith to go for a drive. As soon as he anticipated the shot, a thick edge carried towards the first slip, where captain Rohit Sharma collected the catch.
Steve Smith played an iconic knock of 101 runs off 190 balls, showcasing his class and composure with 12 exquisite boundaries. His innings anchored the Australian batting lineup and demonstrated why he remains one of the most dependable batters in Test cricket.
This wicket inspired a spirit of resurgence within the Indian camp, sparking renewed energy and determination as they fought to turn the game in their favor. Jasprit Bumrah again came to rescue and delivered when the team needed him the most.
