17th December 2024: On Day 4 of the third Test between India and Australia in Brisbane, the entertaining partnership between Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep for the 10th wicket stole the spotlight. The duo successfully saved India from the follow-on, guiding the team to 252/9 in 74.5 overs at stumps.
India found themselves in a precarious position after Ravindra Jadeja’s dismissal for 77, leaving them 33 runs short of the follow-on target. Akash, who had joined Bumrah at the crease, played a crucial knock, and together, they formed an unbeaten 39-run partnership off 51 balls. Their resilience frustrated the Australian bowlers on a rain-affected day.
Despite making his debut on foreign soil, Akash showed impressive resolve and determination against Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins in the final session. He not only played defensively but also managed to hit Starc for a cut shot four. Bumrah also contributed with a six off Cummins over fine leg.
