‘Kavya Maran bhi chupke se dekh rahi hogi’ – Fans react as Pat Cummins completes three consecutive five-wicket hauls against Pakistan

Australia skipper Pat Cummins has taken three consecutive five-wicket hauls against Pakistan in the ongoing three-match Test series. In the second Test played in the last week of 2023 (Boxing Day Test), he took a 10-for for the game (five wickets each in both innings). Both spells proved crucial as the Asian side was going ahead in the game. In the first innings, in reply to Australia’s 318, the Shaheens were going well with 124/1.

However, thanks to Cummins’ five wickets for 48 runs, the visitors were bowled out for 264. With this, the World Test Championship holders got a lead of 64 runs. Despite losing four for 16 runs, they managed to get 262 runs, asking Pakistan to chase 317 runs. In the last innings, the Shan Masood-led side was going well with 219/5, needing 98 runs to win in Australia after 1994.

However, once again, Cummins took a five-wicket haul and helped the team win the game by 79 runs. With this, they have managed to win the series 2-0 with the ongoing third Test to go.
