India’s thrilling escape from a follow-on in the third Test at the Gabba left the Australian team surprised. Nathan Lyon, Australia’s star spinner, expressed his amazement at India’s wild celebrations after Akash Deep’s crucial boundary saved the day.
On Day 4, when Ravindra Jadeja was dismissed for a gutsy 77, India still needed 33 runs to avoid the follow-on. With Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah as the last pair, it seemed impossible. But the duo stood strong, frustrating the Australian bowlers with their gutsy partnership. Akash Deep eventually smashed a Pat Cummins delivery for a boundary, sparking massive celebrations in the Indian dressing room.
Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir, and Virat Kohli were on their feet, cheering and exchanging high-fives. Their joy didn’t stop there—when Akash hit a six shortly after, the celebrations reached a fever pitch.
Lyon noted that the Indian top order likely didn’t want to bat under fading light. He also admitted that Australia’s push for a follow-on was tougher without Josh Hazlewood, who bowled just one over on Day 4. Despite this, Lyon praised his bowling teammates for their hard work and commitment.
India’s highest last-wicket partnership in Australia in 30 years ensured the team’s fighting spirit shone brightly in Brisbane.
