India vs Australia 4th Test Day 2 Live Updates: India captain Rohit Sharma’s confusing call to start with Mohammed Siraj before replacing him just one over later with Jasprit Bumrah baffles many. Steve Smith, on the other hand, is cruising towards a century with some fine stroke-play in the morning session of Day 2 of the 4th Test in Melbourne. Bumrah’s three wickets on the opening day helped India make a comeback in the game, but Australia still managed to finish the day in a good position, thanks to fifties from Sam Konstas (60), Usman Khawaja (57), Marnus Labuschagne (72) and Steve Smith.
