Akash Deep showed his attitude as soon as follow on was postponed
Whatever may be the result of the third Test being played between India and Australia, what Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep did in the last session of the match today will be remembered for many years to come. Although Bumrah and Akash Deep are known as bowlers, but today when they got a chance to bat, both of them saved the match in a way. Although there is still one day left in the match, anything can happen, but the only possibility as of now is that the match may end in a draw. Meanwhile, when India’s follow-on was saved, Akash Deep showed his attitude which brought a smile on everyone’s face. However, immediately after this the game of today i.e. the fourth day was ended.
Team India was stuck after the fall of the ninth wicket.
At one time, the Indian cricket team was badly trapped in front of Australia. India’s ninth wicket had fallen at the score of 213. At that time India needed 33 runs to save the follow-on. This task was much more difficult, because now both the bowlers were at the crease. Akash Deep on one end and Jasprit Bumrah on the other. It was very difficult to score one run here. The Australian team was also fully prepared to call India to bat again, so that the match could be taken under control. But Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep had come thinking something else. Both of them together added one or two runs each and whenever they got the chance, they also hit fours. Indian fans were cheering every run. After this, finally that moment came when India saved the follow-on.
Akash Deep saved the follow on by hitting a four
As soon as India saved the follow-on, a wave of happiness ran through the entire Indian camp. It seemed as if India had won this match. Akash Deep had made sure that now the Indian team will not have to come to bat again by hitting a four on the second ball of Pat Cummins’s over. After this, Pat Cummins hit a thunderous six on the fourth ball of the same over. This was such a six that the enthusiasm of the fans reached even greater heights. After this six, another ball was bowled, but before Pat Cummins’s over could end, the match was stopped due to bad light. Pat Cummins might also be feeling that there is no point in bowling now, because the follow-on is now saved. Therefore he also did not make any effort. After some time, the umpire announced stumps and the fourth day’s play ended.
Chance of rain on the last day also
Now if we talk about the chances of the last day, then only nine wickets have fallen for India. It is true that it is difficult to say when the last wicket of the Indian team will fall, but as long as Akash and Bumrah bat, they will work to avoid India’s defeat. Although there is a possibility of rain on the last day, but even if it does not rain, it seems less likely that the Indian team will lose the match. Yes, it is certain that the match is now heading towards a draw. But it remains to be seen with what strategy the Indian and Australian teams enter the field on the fifth day.
