Akashdeep's fours and sixes saved the honor of Team India, Kohli-Gambhir kept watching, Video

Ravindra Jadeja with Jasprit Bumrah while trying to avoid the follow on at Gabba. There were 213 runs on the score board and 33 more runs were needed to avoid follow-on. While trying to play a big shot, Jadeja was caught by Mitchell Marsh on the ball of Cummins. Jaddu was returning to the pavilion and there was panic in the Indian camp. The biggest question was how to avoid follow on now. The fear of defeat started looming in my mind also. Bumrah was at the crease and Akashdeep had come to support him.

Akashdeep-Bumrah saved the team's honor

Both of them started adding runs one after the other. Kangaroo fast bowlers were trying their best, but Akash and Bumrah remained at the crease. With one run each, the Indian team now needs only 4 runs to avoid follow-on. The ball bounced from Cummins' hand and hit the slip fielder's head, taking the heavy edge of Akash's bat. This shot of Akash forced the entire Indian dressing room to dance.

Kohli-Gambhir's reaction goes viral

As soon as Akash hit a four, Virat Kohli, sitting in the dressing room, got up from his seat and started watching. Head coach Gautam Gambhir also knew no bounds to his happiness. A big smile appeared on the face of captain Rohit Sharma. Everyone knew that this shot of Akash had saved the embarrassment of the Indian team at the Gaba ground. The follow on did not happen and the Indian team did not have to bat again.

On the very next ball, Akash again opened his hands and sent Cummins flying into the air. This six that came from Akash's bat was so long that Virat kept looking at the six away from the dressing room. Coach Gambhir and captain Rohit were also completely surprised by this shot of Akash.

Know the status of the match

The pair of Jasprit Bumrah and Akashdeep have now pushed the Gabba Test towards a draw by batting brilliantly. Both have made a partnership of 39 runs for the 10th wicket. Bumrah-Akashdeep together postponed the follow-on, which means the Kangaroos will now have to play the second innings. The Border-Gavaskar series is currently tied at 1-1. Team India played in Perth while Australia tasted victory in Adelaide.
