Before the fourth Australia Test, Reddy had bowled just 27 overs in three games, or just over five overs per innings. To counter that, India also overbowled Bumrah, who sent 28 overs each at the Gabba and the first innings at Melbourne, making it only the fifth time in 84 innings that he has bowled as many overs. India have also batted out more than 80 overs 15 times since the start of 2023, but just four times in their last nine Tests.
