#IndiaInAustralia: Three key moments of Day three of fourth Test
Team India will be happy with the proceedings on Day three of the ongoing Test match against Australia at the SCG. The hosts trail India by 386 runs after ending the day at 236/6. Indian spinners ruled the roost on a flat Sydney pitch. Bad light hindered play with just 73.3 overs being bowled today. Here are the key moments.
Kuldeep, Jadeja dictate the show in Sydney
The Indian spinners bowled exceptionally well. Kuldeep Yadav picked up three wickets. Ravindra Jadeja was instrumental with figures of 2/62. The cause was also helped with some ordinary batting by the Australians. Marcus Harris was the top run-scorer (79).
Australian batsmen fail to make merry on a flat deck
The Aussie batsmen should have been among the runs on a pitch that assisted batting. Instead, they found themselves losing wickets at regular intervals. Some of the senior batsman played some rash shots to get out. Nobody took a leaf out from India's centurion Cheteshwar Pujara. Australian batsmen found ways to get themselves out. The application will hurt them dearly.
Harris misses out on a century
Marcus Harris looked like the only one who showed some fine moments with the bat. The opener struck a well deserved 79 from 120 deliveries. Harris struck eight fours. He was seen shaking his head after a soft dismissal. Harris knew that a century was there for the taking. He did all the hard work and he paid the price for his indecision.
Kuldeep, Jadeja hand India the momentum
India's two spinners stood out. Both Kuldeep and Jadeja kept things simple and were patient for the wickets. The two bowlers picked five wickets between them and tempted the Aussies throughout. Kohli turned up to them for majority of the day's play. Kuldeep and Jaddu bowled 51.3 overs between them. They hardly gave anything away and kept the Aussies at bay.
