Siraj's viral mantra 'I believe only in Jassi bhai' echoed once again; Rohit Sharma makes special tunnel appearance during India's celebrations

India successfully bowled out the home side for 238, securing a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. The BCCI celebrated the victory by sharing a heartwarming video of the post-match celebrations, in which Mohammed Siraj humorously referenced his famous remark about Jasprit Bumrah.

As he met the stand-in Indian skipper, Siraj said, “I believe only Jassi bhai, because he is a gamechanger.” The video compilation also saw Bumrah later stating that it was just the start, and that the Indian team had a long way to go in the series.

Rohit Sharma, the Indian captain who missed the Perth Test, also makes an appearance in the video, as he stands in the tunnel to greet the Indian team following the win.

Watch:

On Day 3, India produced a solid performance with the bat, with Yashasvi Jaiswal headlining the innings with a brilliant 161. Virat Kohli, the Indian batting stalwart, ended a long wait for a Test century, smashing his 30th ton in the format. Kohli faced significant criticism over his lack of run-scoring, having registered only one fifty-plus score across five home Tests this season.

With the ball, Bumrah breathed fire; he picked five wickets in the first innings, ending with sublime figures of 5/30 in 17 overs. Bumrah followed it up with three wickets in the second, including the key dismissal of Travis Head (89), who had been leading the lone battle for Australia in the colossal run-chase.

Mohammed Siraj also picked three wickets in the second innings, while Washington Sundar took two.

Team India will now return to action in the pink-ball Test, which begins on December 6. The side will prepare for the day/night Test with a two-day warm-up match in Canberra, where Rohit Sharma is also expected to play.
