Pat Cummins lost another batting partner in Mitchell Starc, as he continued to tick the scoreboard for Australia on Day 4 of the ongoing fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 against India at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in Melbourne.
Mitchell Starc was run out for 5 runs off 13 balls after a brilliant piece of fielding by Rishabh Pant in the 59th over of Australia’s second innings in Melbourne. It happened when the Australian pacer played a hard-length ball from Jasprit Bumrah and hit it behind square on the leg side for a single.
Starc attempted to return for a second run, but his batting partner, Pat Cummins, wasn’t interested. Starc had to turn back, and as the throw came in to Pant, he quickly moved ahead of the stumps. The Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant collected the ball and made a direct hit to run Starc out.
