On day four of the third Test in Brisbane, Australia’s slim prospects of victory were further eroded by Josh Hazlewood’s injury, but India managed to avoid the follow-on thanks to a valiant tenth wicket stand from Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep.
As India persevered on yet another rain-soaked day at the Gabba, opener KL Rahul and returning all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja both achieved heroic fifties.
As the stadium began to darken, Deep hit a thick edge off Pat Cummins that flew over a leaping fielder at gully for four runs, pushing India to safety and igniting cheers from colleagues in the grandstand.
Eleventh With a hint of cockiness, Deep hit the Australian captain for six two balls later and then blocked another shot.
