Sports Desk. On the fourth day of the third Test match being played at the Gabba ground under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India’s Jasprit Bumrah and Akashdeep dashed Australia’s hopes. The danger of follow-on has been averted due to the unbeaten partnership of 39 runs between the two for the last wicket. By the end of the day’s play, India had scored 252 runs for 9 wickets.
As soon as Akashdeep hit a four off Australian captain Pat Cummins in the last over of the fourth day and the team’s score reached 245 runs, there was a wave of happiness in the Indian dressing room. Virat Kohli started celebrating vigorously. Head coach Gautam Gambhir also looked very happy and applauded loudly. After this, Akashdeep also hit a long six on the ball of Pat Cummins and then the happiness of Virat Kohli was worth seeing.
Akashdeep is unbeaten on 27 and Jasprit Bumrah is unbeaten on 10 runs. However, on the basis of first innings, India is still 193 runs behind Australia. Australia had scored 445 runs in its first innings. For India, KL Rahul (84) and Ravindra Jadeja (77) also played excellent half-century innings.
India’s first innings had a bad start due to rain interruptions and Mitchell Starc gave the first blow to India by dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal (04) on the very second ball of the innings. Shubman Gill also could not do anything special and became the second victim of Starc by scoring only 1 run. Virat Kohli once again failed and became the victim of Hazlewood after scoring only 3 runs. After this, Pant and captain Rohit Sharma also started walking.
