Rishabh Pant just got out, and that takes the advantage away from India. He made 61 from just 33 balls, smashing the Australian bowlers without any mercy. Right now India has a lead of 132 runs. In order to solidify their advantage, they need to take that lead to at least 200. Bumrah has returned to the Indian camp after his MRI scan. There is still no word from the Indian dressing room whether he will be able to bowl or not.

Rishab Pant's innings was very important. If Rishab Pant had been able to stay at the crease for another 10 overs, then perhaps India would have been able to collect close to 200. Even though it is a Test format match, Pant batted very aggressively today. Rishab Pant returned to the dressing room after scoring 61 runs from 33 balls. Now Jadeja and Nitish Reddy are at the crease. These two batsmen have the ability to play big innings. However, the pitch is not batting friendly. So it is not possible to say for sure whether these two batsmen will be able to collect big. My guess is that India's innings will end between 200-220.
