The ongoing Pink-Ball Test between India and Australia witnessed a cracking moment as Nitish Kumar Reddy removed Marnus Labuschagne with the help of one of Yashasvi Jaiswal's career best catches. However, the highlight of this moment was when Virat Kohli gave a glimpse of his 'OG' aggressive side.

As soon as Jaiswal grabbed the catch, Virat Kohli came in running and, using his hands, asked Marnus Labuschagne and the Aussie crowd at the Adelaide Oval to be silent. The Aussie batter, Labuschagne, who attempted to emulate India's legendary Test player Cheteshwar Pujara, succumbed under pressure soon after slamming his 21st Test half-century. 

In the 55th over, Reddy bowled a short and wide outside the off-stump delivery; Labuschagne balanced forward and cut the ball through the backward point. However, he failed to keep it down and hit it off the face of the bat. The ball quickly travelled towards Jaiswal, who grabbed a brilliant catch towards his right shoulder. With this, Labuschagne had to walk back after scoring 64 off 126 balls, and Australia lost their 4th wicket, trailing by just 12 runs.

Australia Lead As India's Troubles Increase

Australia fought back vigorously in the morning session, losing a few wickets. The pink ball proved the key for India, as Jasprit Bumrah quickly got rid of Nathan McSweeney and Steven Smith. Travis Head countered that with his aggressive style, scoring his 18th Test fifty just before the break, while Marnus Labuschagne scored fifty.

Bumrah bowled well to get three wickets, and Siraj bowled without much reward. Harshit Rana could not place his lines right, while R. Ashwin came up with a chance against Mitchell Marsh, but the third umpire overruled it. Australia took their score to 191/4, leading by 11 runs.
