Then when Australia threatened to run away with the game in the second innings with Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith looking in control at 80-2, it was Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah who gave India hope, reducing Australia to 91-6. Even if the last wicket added zero instead off 55, or even if Cummins declared the innings shut at the fall of the ninth wicket, Australia would have set India a target of 279 - only five times has a team successfully chased more than that at the MCG.
