Clarke, Harsha, Manjrekar: Twitterati Praise India’s Day 3 Heroics

Here’s a look at how the cricket world reacted to India’s incredible performance on day three of the fourth Test.

India couldn’t have asked for a better day of Test cricket on day three of the fourth Test against Australia at Dharamsala on Monday.

When the home side started the day at 248/6, they would have been hoping to get a lead of 20-30 runs and set a new target from there.

But after they attained a 32-run lead, the bowlers did a fantastic job to bundle Australia out for 137 runs and help India restrict Australia’s lead to a meagre 105 runs.

KL Rahul and Murali Vijay negotiated six overs and ended the day with India on 19/0. They just need another 87 runs to win the fourth Test and the four-match series 2-1.

Here’s a look at how the cricket world reacted to India’s incredible performance on day three of the Dharamsala Test.

India 🇮🇳 just brilliant today. With both bat and ball.

Umesh has played 12 out of the 13 Tests...has picked up crucial wickets. AND hasn't dropped a km of pace throughout. Superstar. 😊👍
