While avoiding the follow-on in the third Test match between India and Australia at the Gabba, Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep played a crucial 49-run partnership on Day 4. Their resilience helped India avoid a follow-on after India was 201/8. The pivotal moment came when Akash Deep guided the ball to third man for a boundary, triggering celebrations from Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Gautam Gambhir in the dressing room. At stumps, India were 228/9, still trailing by 194 runs, with one wicket remaining. Earlier, Ravindra Jadeja scored a valuable fifty, and KL Rahul top-scored with 84 runs.
