Brisbane, December 14, 2024 – During the first day of the third Test between India and Australia at The Gabba, Jasprit Bumrah’s frustration was captured by the stump mic as he struggled with the pitch conditions. Despite cloudy weather that suggested potential for swing, Bumrah was heard saying, “Nahi ho raha hai swing, kahin bhi kar,” expressing his difficulties in getting the ball to move.
This moment of frustration came after Bumrah and his pace partner Mohammed Siraj found it challenging to generate the usual movement. The Australian openers had put up 28 runs in 13 overs, but rain soon interrupted play, leaving the pacers with limited opportunities to make an impact early in the game.
Bumrah’s reaction highlighted the challenges fast bowlers often face in varying conditions, especially when the expected swing is absent. Despite these early frustrations, both teams remained focused on securing a strong position in the ongoing Test series.
