In the Gabba Test, Team India gave a big blow to Australia and postponed the follow-on on the fourth day. After the excellent half-century innings of KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, Bumrah and Akashdeep saved Team India from follow-on by making an unbeaten partnership of 39 runs for the last wicket. Team India was in danger of follow-on after 13 years. In 2011, England had given follow-on to the Indian team but Akashdeep and Bumrah postponed the follow-on by taking Team India to the score of 245 runs.

Gambhir-Virat celebrated

As soon as Akashdeep hit a four off Australian captain Pat Cummins in the last over of the fourth day and the team's score reached 245 runs, there was a wave of happiness in the Indian dressing room.

Virat Kohli started celebrating vigorously. Head coach Gautam Gambhir also looked very happy and applauded loudly. After this, Akashdeep also hit a long six on the ball of Pat Cummins and then Virat Kohli's happiness was worth seeing.

Indian batsmen failed again

Like the Adelaide Test, the Indian team's batting failed miserably in Gabba too. Yashasvi Jaiswal was out after scoring only 4 runs. Gill scored only one run. Virat Kohli contributed 3 runs. Pant scored 9 runs. Rohit Sharma's bad phase is not ending and the captain could score only 10 runs. Nitish Reddy was also able to contribute 16 runs.

Rahul-Jadeja saved shame

Only KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja saved the honor of Team India.

Rahul batted brilliantly and scored 84 runs in 139 balls. Ravindra Jadeja played an inning of 77 runs in 123 balls. These two batsmen somehow took Team India's score beyond 200 by making a partnership of 67 runs in 115 balls.
