Ravindra Jadeja gave a perfect start to the visitors after the Lunch break as sent back the Australian opener Marcus Harris. Jadeja came to bowl from round the wicket and Harris tried to run the ball towards the point region. However, the southpaw batsman got an inside which was dragged on to the stumps to end his innings at 79 runs.

In fact, Marcus Harris adopted an aggressive approach in the opening session of the third day’s play. He was looking good for his maiden Test hundred but had to walk back as he didn’t have the rub of the green on his side.

Ravindra Jadeja has scalped two wickets.

Interestingly, no Australian batsman has thus far scored a hundred in the ongoing four-match series. The score of 79 from Marcus Harris is not only his best score but also Australia’s best individual score in the series. Thus, the inexperienced batting line-up has let the team down.

Harris had taken on the Indian spinners in the opening session of the Day’s three play. The southpaw batsman had made good use of his feet to get to the pitch of the ball. In fact, he had smashed Kuldeep Yadav for three boundaries in one over.

Meanwhile, Australia will hope to get a big score from Peter Handscomb and Travis Head, who are currently batting out in the middle. The hosts have been ragged as they have lost four wickets in their ongoing first innings. However, India has put a mountain of 622 runs in front of them.

Australia is still in arrears by a gargantuan margin of 461 runs and would have to bat out of their skins to stay afloat in the ongoing Test match.

Here is the wicket of Marcus Harris:
