Jasprit Bumrah completes 'best spell of the series', taking three wicket in 11 balls

Jasprit Bumrah has bowled one of the "best spells of the series", bringing the fire needed to drag India back into contention on day four of the Boxing Day Test.

After removing youngster Sam Konstas early on day four, it wasn't until after lunch that one of the world's greatest fast bowlers came to life.

The paceman went on to take 4-56 after grabbing three wickets in just 11 deliveries, bringing up his 200th Test wicket along the way.

The day began with Australian skipper Pat Cummins left confused after an umpire review for a possible wicket went begging.

Just moments later, Nitish Kumar Reddy was dismissed after a drive fell short on the boundary, caught by Mitchell Starc to leave India still trailing by 105 runs.

All attention quickly turned to Australia's newest golden boy, Konstas, returning to the crease after his debut knock on day one.

After the 19-year-old made 60 off 65 three days prior, Bumrah did his research.

Konstas ended up being clean bowled by the Indian fast bowler, leaving the pitch after making just 8 off 18.

Bumrah's celebration said it all.

As he raised his arms to the crowd, as if to say, "see you later" to Konstas. It reminded some of Konstas on day two, when the Aussie teen sent Virat Kohli off the same way.

All eyes were then on the fired-up Bumrah, who, according to Mark Waugh, pieced together his strongest bowling performance of the entire Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

"I reckon this is his best spell of the series," Mark Waugh said on Fox Cricket before lunch on day four.

"That was a nice punchy little session from India," Adam Gilchrist added.

After lunch, the Australian collapse began.

First, it was Steve Smith who was downed by Mohammed Siraj, exiting for 13 off 41.

Then big swinger Travis Head fell for one run off two balls, after whipping the ball straight to mid wicket.

That mistake handed Bumrah his historic 200th Test career wicket, with an astounding average of 19.56.

Shortly after, Bumrah found another level and removed Mitch Marsh for a four-ball duck, leaving Australia reeling on 5-85.

Matters got even worse soon after, as Bumrah took Test wicket 203, clean bowling Alex Carey for two off seven balls.

Australia landed on 6-91 as the players headed to drinks.

Pat Cummins and Labuschagne produced a strong stint to relax the contest and keep Australia in action, but the latter's luck could only last so long.

Three missed catches from Yashasvi Jaiswal left Bumrah stunned by Labuschagne's luck, who was on track to hit a century.

"That must be the luckiest player alive," Bumrah was heard saying as Marnus continued in attack.

However, India were just heating up their final comeback run for the afternoon when Siraj took Labuschagne for 70.

Starc fell shortly after to Bumrah in what was a costly mix up in the middle for the Aussies.

Australia ended the day 228-9 with a 333-run lead.
