WATCH: Bumrah credits Rohit Sharma for brilliant slower ball

The highlight of Bumrah's performance was the dismissal of Marsh for the fourth wicket with the final ball before lunch, during the opening session. The 25-year-old's slower ball completely deceived the left-hander

India to 54/5 at stumps on Day 3 of the third Test after Jasprit Bumrah's career best figures of 6/33 helped the tourists dismiss Australia for a meager 151.

Bumrah starred with the cherry in the first two sessions, accounting for the wickets of opener Marcus Harris (22), Shaun Marsh (19), Travis Head (20), skipper Tim Paine (22) and the tailenders Nathan Lyon and Josh Hazlewood for successive ducks.

Bumrah's career best figures also made him the only Asian bowler to take five wickets or more against Australia, England and South Africa in the same calendar year.

He had earlier claimed 5/54 vs South Africa in Johannesburg, then rocked England with a haul of 5/85 at Trent Bridge before Friday's feat.

The highlight of Bumrah's performance was the dismissal of Marsh for the fourth wicket with the final ball before lunch, during the opening session for India.

The 25-year-old's slower ball completely deceived the left-hander.

"When I was bowling before lunch, the wicket was not doing a lot and the ball had become soft," Bumhrah told cricket.com.au.

"Rohit was there at mid-off and he said, 'it's the last ball, you could try a slower ball'. He told me that I use it quite a lot in white-ball cricket and I could still try it.

"The execution was good and we got a wicket off the last ball.

"(I have to thank Rohit) for the suggestion, obviously.

"The wicket is on the slower side and sometimes the batsmen play with hard hands, so (the slower ball) could come into play. So that was the plan."
