India vs Australia: Indian fans unite to make 'Draw' Twitter trend, proud after SCG fight

The Indian team managed to salvage a fighting draw in the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar trophy at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. At the start of the fifth and final day of the third Test, the hosts were firm favourites to win the contest as India only had eight wickets in their hand against a relentless Australian bowling attack. However, the Ajinkya Rahane's men showed exceptional character and immense spirit to draw the match.

Twitter erupts as Indian salvage draw from improbable situation

India started their innings with an overnight score of 98/2 but lost skipper Ajinkya Rahane early on Day 5. However, Pant was promoted up the batting order who stitched a 148-run partnership with Cheteshwar Pujara and brought India back into the game. The southpaw played a counter-attacking knock of 97 and fell short of his century by just three runs.

After Pant departed for a well-made 97, all eyes were on Pujara and Hanuma Vihari who had around 45 overs to survive. To Indian fans' disarray, Pujara was dismissed by Josh Hazlewood for 77, leaving two new batsmen Vihari and R Ashwin at the crease. However, Hanuma Vihari and R Ashwin showed immense grit and determination by batting almost 43 overs to secure a draw in the India vs Australia 3rd Test.
