Pat Cummins four-fer keep Australia in hunt

While India was going strong in their quest to chase 328 to clinch the series, for Australia, it was Pat Cummins who kept his side in the contest with a four-fer. Cummins wickets include Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara and Mayank Agarwal.  Cummins started Day 5 of the India vs Australia 4th Test on a high as he got rid of the dangerous Rohit Sharma (7) with just 18 runs on the board. The Australian pacer's next wicket came in the form of Indian skipper Ajinkya Rahane (24) who was scoring at a brisk rate and threatened to take the game away from the hosts.

Cummins subsequently went on to claim the wickets of the determined Cheteshwar Pujara (56) and Mayank Agarwal (9) to keep his side in the hunt. Just when India were taking control of the game, the right-arm speedster made sure that he provided his side with crucial breakthroughs. However, he couldn't get the desired support from the other end which is why Australia ended up losing the match. If it wasn't for Cummins' incredible bowling, Indian would have sealed the match quite comfortably but the 27-year old speedster ensured that India earned a hard-fought victory.
