Jasprit Bumrah's no ball on the Melbourne ground has once again opened old wounds. Once again the memory of 2017 Champions Trophy has become fresh. Now there is a fear that once again due to no ball, Team India may have to give up. Well, its effect has already started becoming visible. Australia has broken all the records of lead in Melbourne. The most successful run chase so far in Melbourne has been 332 runs, which was chased in the year 1928. Australia chased this score against England. But, in the current Test against India, she has crossed that score of 332 on the fourth day itself. Australia has currently set a target of 333 runs. Meaning, the Indian team will now have to chase the biggest score in Melbourne to win.

Lion got life from Bumrah's no ball

However, Team India would not have had the pressure of this biggest score if what happened in the last over of the fourth day had not happened. What happened was that KL Rahul, who was standing in the slip on Bumrah's ball, was caught by Nathan Lyon. But, before Team India could celebrate this wicket, the umpire declared the ball a no ball. Team India had to pay the price for Bumrah's overstepping here.

Fresh memories of 2017 Champions Trophy

This is not the first issue of Bumrah and no ball, due to which Team India has had to suffer the consequences. The world has also seen this situation in the final of the 2017 Champions Trophy. India had to face defeat in that final played against Pakistan because Fakhar Zaman was saved from getting out in the fourth over due to Bumrah's no ball. After that, he not only scored a century and due to that, Pakistan also made a big total of 358 runs, which became difficult for India to overcome.

A score of 250 plus has not been chased in Melbourne in the last 70 years. And, Australia is going to give the biggest target till now. By the way, India has also scored 400 plus chase in the fourth innings. On the last tour of Australia itself, he had chased a total of 329 runs at Gabba. But, it will be interesting to see what is the mood of the pitch on the 5th day of the test match?
