Watch: Mitchell Starc explodes, argues with umpire over rain interruption in Brisbane Test

Australia National Cricket Team pacer Mitchell Starc was at his furious best during the ongoing third game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 against India National Cricket Team. The match between the teams is underway at the Gabba in Brisbane.

The rain has played a massive role over the last three days in the ongoing game at the Gabba in Brisbane. The same story unfolded on Day 4 of the game as the weather forced players to leave the field again and again after short durations of play.

The recent interval didn't go well with Mitchell Starc as he was seen fighting with the umpire. The premier pacer was in the middle of the over when the rain arrived, but it was a slight drizzle, and as he was about to mark his run-up, the umpires called for covers.

This made Starc angry as he was seen protesting to the umpire. However, soon after that, the rain picked up, and the players were forced to move back to the dressing room.

Mitchell Starc removes Mohammed Siraj after rain break as Australia comes on top

After the rain break, Starc came out all guns blazing and picked the wicket of Mohammed Siraj. The left-arm pacer came up with the staggering delivery as he bowled a delivery that was full outside off. To this, the batter attempted to play the drive.

The ball moved away late and caught the edge, which was taken by Alex Carey, who produced a sensational catch. Starc has been nothing short of exceptional with the ball in the ongoing game as he has been right on the money with his pace and accuracy.

Starc has picked three wickets in the ongoing innings and has removed Yashasvi Jaiswal and Mitchell Starc apart from Mohammed Siraj. Overall in the series, he has been sensational and has troubled India National Cricket Team batters a lot in the three games so far.

Australia National Cricket Team are again having a great day with the ball. Even though KL Rahul (84) and Ravindra Jadeja (77) gave their best with the bat, the Pat Cummins-led side kept chipping in with wickets at regular intervals, putting the India National Cricket Team under pressure.

Apart from Mitchell Starc, skipper Pat Cummins has been amongst the wickets as well. The Australia National Cricket Team skipper has bagged four wickets, removing Rishabh Pant, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy. Australia are giving their best to restrict India under the follow-on score. It remains to be seen if they get what they want to as India too are not putting the step behind.
