FINALLY, it’s all done as India avoided the follow-on, and many believe they were also able to snatch the India vs AUS 3rd Test to a draw. See how the Indian dressing room celebrated that feat.
And it’s all done! After tons of rough and tough patches, the Indian team has avoided the follow-on, and all credit goes to the last Indian batting pair, Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep. Their 39-run partnership helped India cross the initial line, reaching 246 runs out of 445. When Akash Deep hit the four, there was huge joy in the Indian camp. The Indian dressing room erupted with happiness, with everyone from Gambhir to Virat Kohli cheering.
From a game perspective, this was much-needed as the Indian team had been trailing by many runs with few wickets left. But first, KL Rahul, followed by Ravindra Jadeja and our bowlers turned into heroic batters, helping India avoid the follow-on. The best moment came when Akash Deep hit a six off Pat Cummins’ ball, leaving Kohli in a state of shock from happiness.
