The third Test match in Gabba has fans on the edge of their seats. Australia, defending their fortress with intense determination, has kept the visitors under pressure. Amidst the batting struggle, Team India narrowly overcame the follow-on threat thanks to Bumrah and Akash Deep’s exceptional last-wicket partnership. After that, Indian coach Gautam Gambhir’s reaction steals the spotlight.

Guru Gambhir’s Reaction

Team India found themselves in a do-or-die moment as they needed 246 runs to dodge the humiliation of follow-on against the host. With 213 runs on the board and 9 wickets down, the pressure caught immensely into the entire Indian dugout. In that situation, Bumrah-Akash Deep’s gusty last-wicket partnership provided hope to the India camp.

In the 75th over, Akashdeep smashed an incredible boundary against the Aussie skipper Pat Cummins. With that shot, Team India avoided the follow-on. The relief caught in everyone’s face but Gambhir’s reaction turned the heads.

As soon as Akash Deep’s hit touched the boundary rope, Gambhir erupted with fiery enthusiasm. He jumped out of the seat and joined Virat Kohli with a high five. That moment grabbed the attention.


Rahul-Jadeja’s Resilience Boosts India’s Innings

Team India’s batting woes continued into the ongoing Gabba Test also. While batting first, Team India lost three wickets consecutively. Jaiswal, Gill, and Kohli walked away early. Rishabh Pant departed scoring only 9 runs. Standing on that crucial point, KL Rahul completed his half-century and played a brave knock of 84 runs in 139 deliveries.

Rahul was the lone warrior until Ravindra Jadeja came to bat. Jadeja tried to make a valuable impact to keep the hope alive. The Indian all-rounder played another crucial innings of 77 runs in 123 balls. After Siraj’s dismissal, Bumrah and Akash Deep are continuing the crucial partnership. Team India still trails by 193 runs.
