Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team got their moment to celebrate in the third Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test after they managed to avoid follow-on after successfully reaching the 246-run mark in reply to Australia's massive 445 in the first innings. It was Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah's heroics that rescued the visitors from a precarious spot. The whole dressing room including Virat Kohli and head coach Gautam Gambhir burst into a crazy celebration after Deep hit a four against Pat Cummins.
Virat Kohli's crazy reaction to Akash Deep's six
The whole dressing room was jumping around and exchanging high-fives when a shot from Akash Deep ensured that India would no longer be under follow-on threat. Not just the Indian dressing room, but the whole stadium erupted with that shot. Even Akash Deep was seen beating his chest after that moment.
Even before the celebration of this moment ended, Deep smashed a massive six against Cummins a ball later. This brought a crazy reaction out of Virat Kohli who just could not believe his eyes and behind him, even Gambhir and Rohit were seen stunned.
KL Rahul and Jadeja hit crucial fifties
Rahul escaped getting out on the first ball of Day 4 and made the most out of it after playing an 84-run knock. Jadeja was another player who stood up and performed well with the bat as he played a crucial 77-run innings. However, despite their knocks India was under follow-on threat.
Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah's final-wicket heroics
India still needed 33 runs to avoid follow-on when Jadeja got out. They only had one wicket left and the last Indian pair of Bumrah and Akash Deep ensured that India would not be thrown on the backfoot. They joined a 39-run stand before umpires called for early stumps due to bad light. Both of them are still on the pitch with Deep batting on 27 and Bumrah on 10 at stumps Day 4.
