What happened in the last over of the match that coach Gautam Gambhir jumped with joy, Virat was stunned after seeing Akashdeep's shot.

Before the end of the fourth day's play in the Gabba Test, the threat of playing follow-on was hanging over Team India. Jasprit Bumrah and Akashdeep were batting on the field. Actually, 9 wickets had fallen for India's 213 runs. India needed 33 runs to save the follow-on and the Kangaroo team needed only one wicket. The atmosphere was very tense from the field to the dressing room. Australia wanted Team India to follow on. But Bumrah and Akashdeep ruined the plans of the Kangaroos.

Situation of the last over of the match

Team India's score was 242 runs for 9 wickets in 74 overs. India still needed 4 runs to save the follow-on. Australia's captain came to bowl the next over. There were skylights in front. No runs were scored on the first ball. But on the very next ball, Akashdeep made a square cut over the slip and the ball went outside the boundary line. As soon as the ball went over the slip, Team India coach Gautam Gambhir, sitting in the dressing room, jumped from his chair. This is because with this four of Akashdeep, the danger of playing follow on from Team India was averted. After this no run was scored on the third ball also. On the next i.e. fourth ball, Akashdeep again played the ball over mid-on and the ball fell into the auditorium. No runs were scored on the fifth and sixth balls. By the end of the day's play, Team India's score had reached 252 runs. Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep have returned unbeaten.
