Late Drama at the Gabba Keeps Series on the Edge

India's Unlikely Duo Saves the Day

In a thrilling turn of events, India's Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep have managed to save the day for their team, thwarting Australia's plans to enforce a follow-on and keeping the series on the edge.

A Crucial Juncture

The third Test had reached a crucial juncture, with India needing 33 runs to avoid the follow-on. The task seemed daunting, especially after the departure of well-set Ravindra Jadeja.

Australia's Fast Bowlers in Full Tilt

Australia's Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc were running in at full tilt, braving the extreme humidity and extra workload in the absence of Josh Hazlewood, who had suffered a calf strain.

Bumrah and Akash's Determination

Bumrah and Akash were determined to get India over the line to safety, focusing on getting every run they could. They were not thinking about survival, but about snatching away the only likely option that the home team had to breathe life into the heavily rain-affected Test.

A Thrilling Finish

The finish was thrilling, with Bumrah and Akash taking the attack to the Aussies and dragging India closer to their intended target. Akash's six off Pat Cummins was a highlight, and he eventually sealed the deal with a boundary off Mitchell Starc.

Scenes of Joy in the Indian Dressing Room

The Indian fans were ecstatic, and the scenes in the dressing room were ones of great joy and jubilation. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and even Gautam Gambhir were all smiling and pumping their fists in celebration.

The Series Remains on the Edge

With the teams going to Melbourne later this week with nothing to separate them, the series remains on the edge. Will India be able to capitalize on this momentum, or will Australia bounce back? Only time will tell.
