India National Cricket Team pacer Akash Deep has brought his team back into the game in the ongoing Test against the Australia National Cricket Team. The third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is taking place at the Gabba in Brisbane.
After Ravindra Jadeja got out, it was also certain that the Australia National Cricket Team would bundle out the India National Cricket Team before the follow-on score. However, Akash Deep had other plans as he joined hands with Jasprit Bumrah and put pressure back on the Pat Cummins-led side.
Akash Deep came up with a brilliant effort with the bat, shows great grit and resilience to help India avoid follow-on
Akash Deep came up with a brilliant effort with the bat as he showed great grit and resilience. The fast bowler, along with Jasprit Bumrah, showed great maturity and slowly ticked the scoreboard. He then made sure that he helped the India National Cricket Team avoid the follow-on in the third Test.
As the India National Cricket Team avoided the follow-on, Akash Deep applied salt to the wounds of the Australia National Cricket Team. The fast bowler came up with a staggering six against the skipper Pat Cummins that made the entire Indian dressing room stand up and applaud him.
Pat Cummins bowled a full ball on off-stump, to which Akash came up with the massive hit. He sent the ball sailing over deep mid-wicket with a clean strike for a massive six and made the Australia National Cricket Team skipper look clueless.
This left Virat Kohli absolutely awestruck in the dressing room along with the head coach Gautam Gambhir and other members of the Indian team. They seemed elated with the massive six as the video went viral on the internet.

Akash Deep plays an unbeaten innings of 27 runs off 31 balls, adds 39 runs partnership with Jasprit Bumrah
Akash played an unbeaten innings of 27 runs off 31 balls. Along with the one massive six, he has hammered two boundaries as well. He, along with Jasprit Bumrah, who is unbeaten at 10, have added 39 runs partnership and have taken the India National Cricket Team past 250 runs.
Thanks to their brilliant effort with the bat, the India National Cricket Team most likely have saved the match, which seemed to be going towards Australia. The match now seems to be heading towards a draw, and it will be a great confidence booster for the team going into the last two games.
Earlier in the day, KL Rahul (84) and Ravindra Jadeja (77) played vital knocks for the team and kept them in the hunt despite wickets falling at regular intervals. The duo together adeed over 50 runs and put Australia under pressure.
