India captain Rohit Sharma had no hesitation to bowl first in the third Test against Australia in Brisbane on Saturday, with clouds hanging over the stadium and an expectedly juicy Gabba pitch waiting for the fast bowlers to exploit it. But there was no help evident in the air and very little off the track, which was confirmed by Jasprit Bumrah.
While delivering the fifth over of the match, India's bowling spearhead and vice-captain Bumrah's words were caught on the stump microphone as he said: "Nahin ho raha swing aise bhi; kahin bhi kar lo (the ball is not swinging no matter where you bowl)."
