Team India players are practicing a lot to face Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. All the players are sweating in the nets before the Perth Test starting from 22nd November. Along with retaining the trophy, the World Test Championship is also at stake. But amidst the serious practice session, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant were seen having some fun to lighten the atmosphere, in which the team's bowling coach Morne Morkel also supported them. A fierce competition was seen between the two in the stadium of WACA. During this, a bet of 100 dollars i.e. about 8 thousand rupees was also placed. Know what happened in Perth?
Team India is spending hours every day in Perth to understand the bounce and pace. In this regard, all the players are practicing batting and bowling for hours. But on Friday 15th November, Bumrah and Pant tried to do something different. Both of them changed their jobs. Bumrah was seen holding the bat in his hand, while the Indian wicketkeeper bowled to him. Pant bowled some balls, which Bumrah was playing easily. Then he threatened a bouncer and started bowling short balls along with Morkel. During this time, he dismissed the team's veteran bowler. After this, Pant looked at the camera and told the fans, 'I have bowled Jasprit Bumrah, got him out in the nets and got a wicket.'

There was a bet of $100 between Pant and Bumrah regarding their dismissal. Bumrah played a shot on the bouncer, which the Indian wicketkeeper immediately said was out, which Bumrah protested against. He said, 'It was not out. Is it a four or two runs? I connected the pull shot well. He thinks there are seven fielders there. Pant should not be allowed to bowl. Whereas Pant asked Morkel whether it was out or not, in which he supported. Then the vice-captain raised questions on the bowling action.
