Pakistan national cricket team fast bowler Shaheen Afridi was in awe of the way the Indian national cricket team came back against the Australia national cricket team in the ongoing fourth Test. The match between the two teams will be held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne.
India national cricket team and Australia national cricket team are engaged in an exciting contest in the fourth match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The Rohit Sharma-led team, after dominating the first two days, made a massive comeback.
India national cricket team made a remarkable comeback on the fourth day of the ongoing Test match at the MCG
After the Australia national cricket team posted a massive total of 474 runs on the board, in response, the India national cricket team made a fighting effort. This was because they struggled to get going initially, but then, the team brought back Nitish Kumar Reddy (114) and Washington Sundar (50).
Thanks to their efforts with the bat, the Indian national cricket team posted a first innings total of 369, 105 runs short. But after that, it was a magical effort with the ball led by Jasprit Bumrah, who continued his golden form with the ball in the series.
Once again, Jasprit Bumrah was the main performer for India as he picked up wickets in the blink of an eye while Mohammed Siraj supported him well. The duo bowled well and, having been completely down in the series, gave them a real chance to win the game.

Shaheen Afridi has not been selected in Pakistan’s squad for the ongoing Test series against South Africa
This comes after Afridi was not selected in the Pakistan national cricket team’s squad for the ongoing Test series against the South Africa national cricket team. The PCB stated that the speed control device had been rested but various reports claimed that it had been dropped.
Reports claimed that the selectors had asked Shaheen Afridi to play a four-day game before the South Africa Test, but the player did not agree, and hence the PCB excluded the speedster from the Test squad, citing workload management, and then allowed him to play in the BPL.
Shaheen Afridi was also asked about his disdain for the Test; He said he did not want to answer that and asked the reporters to ask questions about the Bangladesh Premier League, adding that he is fit to play in all three formats. He said:
“Sorry about that, can we just question the Bangladesh League. I am ready (to play in various competitions) and that is why I am here (to play the Bangladesh League).”
