During the first innings of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Australia's captain Pat Cummins delivered a masterful performance by dismissing the former Pakistani captain, Babar Azam, with an exceptional delivery.
Cummins, showcasing his bowling prowess, managed to penetrate Babar's defence, catching him off-guard. The Pakistani batsman attempted to defend against a good length delivery but was outfoxed as the ball, seaming back in, slipped through the gap between his bat and pad, crashing into the stumps.
This incredible moment where Cummins bowled Babar, significantly shifted the momentum of the match in Australia's favor. The Australian captain's spell proved pivotal as Pakistan, who were at a comfortable 124/1, suddenly found themselves grappling with a swift collapse. Cummins' relentless attack yielded two critical wickets in consecutive overs, dramatically changing the course of the game on the second day of the Test.
