Team India's confidence increased

After this, Akashdeep (31) and Jasprit Bumrah (10 not out) saved India from follow-on by making a partnership of 47 runs for the last wicket. Rohit said that Jadeja and Rahul have to be praised. After this, it was good to see the fighting spirit shown by Akashdeep and Bumrah. Bumrah performed brilliantly in bowling. Akash Deep is a very enthusiastic cricketer and always wants to contribute. He is new to international cricket but has worked hard in the nets. There are people in the team to help him.

Cummins disappointed with the draw

Australian captain Pat Cummins expressed disappointment at the rain interruption and said, “We wanted a 2–1 result but there's nothing we can do about the weather. We scored big and kept the pressure on throughout the match. Steve Smith and Travis Head played a brilliant innings and Lyon also bowled well. Now we are looking forward to the Melbourne Test.
