Indian cricket team fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah complained about the lack of swing on the first day of the third Test match against Australia at The Gabba in Brisbane on Saturday. Due to the rain and mostly cloudy conditions, only 13.2 overs were possible in the first session of the game. However, there was very little swing for the fast bowlers and Bumrah could complain about it on the stump mic. During the fifth over of the game, Bumrah tried to vary his length to find more movement off the pitch. However, he discovered that there was no swing required.

“Nahi ho raha swing, kahin bhi kar (There is no swing no matter where you bowl),” Bumrah’s comment was picked up by the off-stump microphone as he made his way back to the bowling mark.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted for the third Test against Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane on Saturday.

The game will begin in cloudy and humid weather with a threat of rain later, which could suit India’s top scorer Jasprit Bumrah.

The five-match series is set at one win apiece after India won the first Test in Perth before Australia recovered to claim victory in Adelaide.

Australia made one change with speedster Josh Hazlewood returning from a side strain in place of Scott Boland.

India have brought in spinner Ravindra Jadeja for Ravichandran Ashwin while Akash Deep replaces fast bowler Harshit Rana.

“It’s a bit cloudy and there’s a bit of grass and looks a bit soft too,” said Sharma. “We want to make the best possible use of the conditions.”

Australian captain Pat Cummins said he also bowled first.

“We’re really happy with last week, almost everyone got into the series – it was a good lead-up (to Brisbane),” he said.
