India vs Australia: India's talismanic pacer Jasprit Bumrah couldn't hide his 'hilarious' reaction as skipper Suryakumar Yadav lost another toss during the 5th and the final T20I against Australia on Saturday. Notably, Suryakumar Yadav has lost four out of five tosses in the ongoing series. Manuka Oval, where the third T20I took place, was the only venue where India managed to win the toss against Mitchell Marsh. Before him, India's ODI captain Shubman Gill lost all three tosses in the ODI series.
Notably, the pitch at the Gabba favours pacers as the ball swings early on. Probably, this is why Bumrah was eager to know if India are bowling first or not.

Interestingly, Suryakumar is left with a wry smile on his face every time he lost a toss in the series. In the second T20I, he was spotted doing a 'praying' gesture after losing another toss.
"All batters realised it wasn't a 200 wicket. All boxes ticked in the last game, just want to continue the same. Always good to win bilaterals. At the same time, what combination you want is more important. Other than openers, this is one format where everyone has to be flexible with batting positions."
India 52/0 After 4.5 Overs
Indian openers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill smashed 52 runs in 4.5 overs before the play was stopped due to rain. It has been raining ever since, as the chances for a restart look bleak.
