IND vs AUS, 3rd Test: Pat Cummins overtakes Sir Garfield Sobers in unique feat on a frustrating Day 4 for Australia

Live Mint  

On a frustrating day for the Australian cricket team in the ongoing third Test on Tuesday, captain Pat Cummins shone bright with four wickets as he surpassed legendary Garfield Sobers and New Zealand's Daniel Vettori to become the third-highest wicket-taker as a skipper in Tests. The Australian skipper dismissed the entire Indian middle-order which included the likes of Rishabh Pant, Rohit Sharma, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Ravindra Jadeja to go past Sobers and Vettori who have 117 and 116 wickets respectively as captains Cummins now has 119 wickets as a captain, just behind Pakistan's Imran Khan and Richie Benaud of Australia. Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul led India's fightback, but once they were dismissed, Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep helped push the total forward, with a heroic last wicket stand of 39 off 54 balls. Resuming the day at 51/4, India lost their captain Rohit Sharma early, but Rahul stood firm at the other end, bringing up his 17th Test half-century off 85 balls.
