Australia Remain on Top Despite KL Rahul's Vigilant Knock

Australia Push for Victory on Day 4

Australia continued to push for victory on the fourth morning of the Brisbane Test, despite inclement weather taking substantial time away from the game. At Lunch on Day 4, India were six down for 167, still 79 shy of forcing the hosts to bat again.

KL Rahul's Dismissal

KL Rahul was dismissed for an excellent 84, courtesy a superb diving catch at slip by Steve Smith. Rahul had put on a strong partnership with Ravindra Jadeja, who was unbeaten on 41.

Rohit Sharma's Dismissal

Rohit Sharma was worked over by Pat Cummins, who produced a probing five-over spell in the first hour. Cummins eventually bowled a sharp, short ball that Rohit feathered to the 'keeper.

Australia's Dominant Position

Despite their dominant position in the game, Australia endured their own setback when Josh Hazlewood left the field with an injury. Nathan Lyon and Pat Cummins shared the bowling load, with Cummins contributing 11 overs in the session.
