WATCH: Jasprit Bumrah’s annoyance caught on stump mic – AUS vs IND 3rd Test

In the world of cricket, few things are as captivating as the battle between bat and ball. However, when conditions fail to favour the bowlers, even the best can find themselves in a frustrating predicament. This was evident on the opening day of the third Test match between India and Australia at the Gabba, where Jasprit Bumrah‘s visible frustration over the lack of swing became a talking point among fans and analysts alike.

Jasprit Bumrah caught candid on stump mic

The Gabba pitch, known for its lively nature, presented a green tinge that promised assistance to fast bowlers. Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first, hoping to exploit the conditions early on. However, as play commenced, it quickly became apparent that the pitch was not providing the expected help. Bumrah, who is widely regarded as one of the finest fast bowlers in contemporary cricket, struggled to extract any movement from the ball. His attempts to coax swing were met with disappointment, leading him to express his frustration audibly on the field “Nahi ho raha swing, kahin bhi kar (it’s not swinging, anywhere).”

Bumrah’s struggles on this particular day were emblematic of a broader challenge faced by Indian pacers throughout their innings. Despite being one of the most skilled bowlers in cricket history, Bumrah found himself unable to adapt to the conditions. His frustration was palpable; after trying various lengths and angles to induce swing, he appeared resigned to his fate when he told Shubman Gill that he had exhausted all options.
