Akash Deep's Giant Six Leaves Off Cummins' Delivery Virat Kohli Awestruck

After Akash Deep helped Team India avert a follow-on against Australia in the Brisbane Test, the pacer delivered a cracker of a shot which rattled the opposition.

India Avoid Major Disaster In Brisbane Test By Avoiding A Follow-On

While the Indian side benefited from the rain showers, Australia encountered difficulties. The hosts demonstrated their ability to meet the challenge with an incredible score of 445. Team India's top order fell apart as they went to bat, but the tailenders met the daunting challenge head-on. Thanks to the heroic fifties of KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, who exemplified tenacity, India avoided a follow-on against a formidable Australia. The match is expected to end up being a draw as the weather continues to affect the third test. Jadeja (77) and Rahul (84) were the heavyweights in India's 252 for nine when the day ended early due to poor lighting.

Akash Deep (27) and Jasprit Bumrah (10), who averted the follow-on, continue to stand unbeaten and are now leading the charge for India. They will bat again on the fifth day of the Brisbane Test.
