[Watch] Mitchell Starc lets out sheepish expression as he gets Yashasvi Jaiswal cheaply again in BGT 2024-25 3rd Test
Australia ace pacer Mitchell Starc provided a dream start for his team on Day 3 of the third Test against India at the Gabba in Brisbane on Monday, December 18. The left-arm pacer dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal on the second delivery of India's first innings after being hit for a boundary of the first ball.
The dismissal came as Starc bowled a pitched-up delivery on middle. Jaiswal went for a flick shot but played straight to Mitchell Marsh at short mid-wicket. Following the wicket, Starc let out his tongue mocking Jaiswal for sledging him in the first Test. The speedster has now dismissed the India opener in all the first three Tests.
