After dominating proceedings for a couple of days, the Indian cricket team continued their fine run on Day 3 of the 2nd Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Following the valiant knocks of captain Ajinkya Rahane (112) and Ravindra Jadeja (57), the Indian bowlers came to the party to put the hosts on the backfoot. It was Umesh Yadav who got India an early breakthrough in the fourth over of Australia's second innings before Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah got the key wickets of Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith respectively. But, it was Mattew Wade's wicket that opened the floodgates as Australia lost three wickets for one run. That is an unbelievable yorker from Bumrah - that goes unrewarded!

Two of India's DRS calls were deemed null and void solely on the basis of 'Umpire's call' which could have gone either way. Not a bad review by India, but it's not enough to secure of the wicket of Labuschagne.

But, in both the cases, it was the on-field umpire's decision in favour of the batsmen that worked against India's review. The reason players opt for a review is because theyโre unhappy with the decision taken by the on-field umpire. The DRS system needs to be thoroughly looked into by the @ICC, especially for the โUmpires Callโ.#AUSvIND โ Sachin Tendulkar (@sachin_rt) December 28, 2020 The turn of events garnered a lot of criticism from fans on social media. It even went on to instigate a strong response from Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar who urged the ICC to look into the DRS system. Taking to Twitter, the Little Master opined: "The reason players opt for a review is because theyโre unhappy with the decision taken by the on-field umpire. The DRS system needs to be thoroughly looked into by the @ICC, especially for the โUmpires Callโ." Despite the questionable 'Umpire's call', India wouldn't be bothered too much about it - thanks to their impressive bowling unit that has got the hosts reeling under pressure at 120/6 in 58 overs during the second innings.
Jasprit Bumrah is just 15 International Tests old but the man definitely knows how to get the best of the batsmen off the field.ย Bowling the 33rd over for India, Bumrahโs ripper of a delivery rushed past Steve Smith with just enough contact with the bails to have one of them dislodge and fall on the ground. The touch was so minimalistic that neither the bowler nor the batsman realised what had happened. Hilarious with the commentary the previous ball + the actual dismissal + Bumrahโs reaction. pic.twitter.com/CDdAIOCIj6 โ Entha (@enthahotness) December 28, 2020 Immediately after the contact, Bumrah turned around to appeal to the umpire for an LBW. On the other hand, Steve Smith, who did turn around to see where the ball had gone, also didnโt possibly see the fallen bail as he quickly decided to run for a single. It was Bumrahโs teammates who had to calm down the super-excited pacer and draw his attention towards the stumps to make him see that he had already done the damage. The unorthodox Australian legend was out. Still, just to be sure of the dismissal, the leg umpire decided to go upstairs for a slow-motion review but the third umpire didnโt take long to give the final verdict in favour of the Indians. Hereโs how the fans reacted to the unusual dismissal:ย Smith Getting bowled round the legs !!. Only Bumrah can do it.#INDvAUS โ Anand Abhirup ๐คฏ๐งก (@AnandHR_Odia) December 28, 2020#INDVAUS Wow a huge wicket for India Bumrah cleans up Steve Smith.

Arjun Kapoor's sense of style is understated and he works some of the best, functional ensembles when he steps out. Be it to the gym, or to the airport or when he is running errands, the only thing that's common in his looks is how he prefersย comfort more than style and that works out well for him.
ยฉ Viral Bhayani
ยฉ Viral Bhayani That's one of the reasons why every timeย he steps out, we always dissect his looks and also take some fashion lessons from him. We also like how he sums up his outfits, by wearing some OTT sneakers or sometimes, relaxed chappals.
ยฉ Viral Bhayani He recently made an appearance at the airport which we think was the de facto attire for men who stick to comfortable silhouettes. But we instantly became a fan of his sneakers, which had aesthetics like we have never witnessed before. Take a look:
ยฉ Nike Arjun is seen wearing Travis Scott Cactus Trails sneakers. These sneakers have a '90s attitude while the colours add a vintage appeal. It has a dark brown heel tab that has cactus jack branded heel-loop in place. You can also see there's a bold mix of fabric on the upper. The pair has a dirtied off white outsole and the final touch has been added with a mini swoosh on the forefront.
ยฉ Nike These cactus sneakers, with its rugged aesthetic, easily cost approximately Rs 36,150 right now. Considering the outlandish silhouette, these seem worth it.
ยฉ Viral Bhayani His outfit on the other hand looked laid-back. Arjun here is wearing a Los Angeles Lakers T-shirt, which is also worth Rs 15,000. Add to that, his black shorts with vibrant side trims scored big on the style front. In a nutshell, this ensemble and sneakers are simply awesome.ย
The Indian cricket team has lost a lot of good players during the ongoing Australian tour and the second Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground only added to the injury woes of the Men in Blue ahead of the Tea break on Day 3. While in action during only his fourth over of the second innings, Indian Test pace specialist Umesh Yadav managed to bowl just three deliveries before he could feel that something was wrong with his feet and he instantly called for medical assistance.
ยฉ Twitter - Cricket Australia The next thing the cameraman caught was Yadav being supported by one of the medical staff members of the team as he hobbled off the field.
The loss of Yadav, who managed to do some early damage to the Australian batting attack by scalping Joe Burns for four runs, could prove to be expensive for Ajinkya Rahaneโs side especially with the lack of pacers heโs already having to manage. Siraj stumbles while fielding...easy there...with Umesh Yadav still off the field...#INDvsAUS โ Sports_SnehithK (@away_idle) December 28, 2020 To add to the worries of the fans, only moments after Yadav walked off, Mohammed Siraj was seen taking a scary tumble mere metres away from the ropes while stopping the ball from racing towards the boundaries and even he was slow to get up. #AUSvsIND
BAD NEWS FOR INDIA!
Umesh Yadav is walking back after limping in his follow through. Seems to be an issue with his left calf. Mohammed Siraj will complete the over.
AUS: 13/1 (7.3)#BoxingDayTest #INDvAUS #LiveBlog #Rahane #Paine โ SportsTiger (@sportstigerapp) December 28, 2020 With Yadavโs return to the field unlikely, this would be the third pacer Rahane has seen become unavailable to his disposal after Ishant Sharma failed to recover from an ailing injury that he picked up during IPL 2020 and Mohammed Shami was ruled out with a fractured arm at the end of the first Test match in Adelaide.
As Tim Paineโs Australian cricket team began their second innings of the second Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Day 3, opener Joe Burnsโย struggles continued to haunt him.ย The 31-year-old was stunned as a blistering delivery by Indian pacer Umesh Yadav edged his bat and the ball ended up in wicket-keeper Rishabh Pantโs hands on the first delivery of the fourth over. So much happened in Burns' 10-ball innings!
WATCH: https://t.co/oAb8Sq2kmg pic.twitter.com/zPLgKmp2gr โ cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau) December 28, 2020 ย After getting dismissed for a duck in the first innings, Burns had to return to the pavilion with just four runs coming off his bat. Without wasting a lot of time, the fans of the Indian cricket team started trolling the Australian veteran for his inability to stick to the crease and giving away his wicket for cheap once again.

Secondly, Burns, who had managed to score a 50 in the second innings of the Adelaide Test was asked by reporters if he had some advice for the young Shaw to get back in form and the Australian and refused to help himย โat least until the series was overโ.

Ajinkya Rahane was in the middle of incredible form and looked unshaken at the crease early on Day 3 of the second Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground until he was caught on no-manโs land and was dismissed on a run-out.
View this post on Instagram Having crossed the 100-run mark on Day 2, Rahaneโs 112-run innings came to an end in the 100th over when his partner Ravindra Jadeja encouraged him to get a quick single with the hopes of making his half-century in a hurry. Despite getting the bails off in time, the Australians didnโt look too confident going for an appeal but the review by the third umpire cleared all doubts. The Indian skipper was indeed out and had to return to the pavilion.
View this post on Instagram Given the milestone on which he was, one would imagine that the batsman would have been enraged, especially when it wasnโt his fault in the end, however, what Rahane did next, earned him even more respect in the eyes of the fans of the team. Without wasting a moment, Rahane made peace with what had happened and walked up to Jadeja, tapped him on the shoulder and told him to have a solid innings ahead. His gesture instantly caught the attention of the fans who lauded him for his amazing sportsmanship. What an amazing reaction by Rahane after the runout decision. Didn't let the decision affect jadeja. True leader. Unbelievable stuff.#AUSvIND #INDvAUS @cricketaakash @bhogleharsha โ RAHUL AGRAWAL (@RAHUL2494) December 28, 2020Rahane's sportsmanship is superb...even Jadeja got him out, encouraged him to continue without any burden.

Day 2 of the second Test between India and Australia saw skipper Ajinkya Rahane rise up to the occasion and smash a daring century against some of the most dangerous bowlers like Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins. His innings helped the Men in Blue recover from all the damage that they incurred after the humiliating defeat they faced at the Adelaide Oval during the first Test a week and a half ago.
View this post on Instagram In the absence of Virat Kohli and losing Indian Test veteran Cheteshwar Pujara for cheap in the first innings, Rahane not only struck to the crease like a maestro but managed to score at a decent rate. His score, at the end of Day 2 was an unbeaten 104 off 200 deliveries.ย However, when an online news portal claimed that Rahaneโs 12th international Test century came off a series of dropped catches, former Indian batsman and our very own celebrity troll, Wasim Jaffer decided to take matters into his own hands. He took a screenshot of the portalโs Twitter post sharing a link to the story on Rahaneโs century, slashed of the part of the caption which read โbenefits from dropped catchesโ and made it read as it if said โAjinkya Rahane claims 12th Test century as India withstand Australia assault and take controlโ.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) recently announced honorary lists of players to form the 'Team of the Decadeโ in all three formats of the game, namely ODIs, T20Is and International Tests and the members of the Indian cricket team dominated the menโs category.
View this post on Instagram What made the lists even more special was the fact that all three โteamsโ were captained by Indian cricketers as well. Recently retired Mahendra Singh Dhoni was recognised as the captain of the ODI and T20I teams while Virat Kohli was given the charge of the Test squad.
View this post on Instagram Indian white-ball deputy in-charge Rohit Sharma too made it to the two limited-overs teams while yorker specialist also made the cut for the shortest format of the game.

In the red-ball cricket team, Kohli was joined by all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin from India. It was however rather surprising to see that none of the cricketers from Pakistan made it to the Top 11 players in any of the formats on the game, including legends like Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq, who hung their boots three years ago.ย Hereโs how the fans reacted to the lists: Pakistani cricket fans trying to find a single Pakistani player in ICC's teams of the decade.#ICCAwards pic.twitter.com/BuKtA1rPo4 โ Sagar (@sagarcasm) December 27, 2020
