Day Four in the first two and a half sessions, were all about rains, and Australia bowlers getting the better of Indian batters, except KL Rahul, and Ravindra Jadeja. Both Rahul and Jadeja struck crucial fifties, which ensured that Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep got only a few runs to help India avoid the follow-on. The final 30 minutes of play had everything, tension, suspense, and drama, where Bumrah and Deep added 39 runs and took India across the follow-on target, much to the jubilation of the Indian dressing room.
Players go off the field, however, this time Australia are the ones, who look dejected, while Indian batters look the happier of the two. Umpires have decided that stumps will be taken early and that players will head back to the hotel, and not just the dressing room.
India have managed to avoid the follow-on. The dressing room is joyous as both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma share high-fives with each other. Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep have showcased how to bat against Australian seemers, which should be a lesson of specialist batters.
This has been the most engaging play of the whole Test as Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep are fighting hard to help India avoid a follow-on. Both have showcased brilliant acumen, which even witnessed Rohit Sharma applaud from the dressing room. The duo have added 28 off 43.
OUT! Pat Cummins gets the dangerous Ravindra Jadeja, who showcased his T20-hitting skills in the last few overs. Cummins opened up the field on the final ball of the over, and Jadeja trying to hit over the top, handed a simple catch at mid-wicket region. Ravindra Jadeja c Mitchell Marsh b Pat Cummins 77(123)
OUT! Mitchell Starc gets Mohammed Siraj. Siraj gets an outside edge as Alex Carey takes a blinder to dismiss the bowler. Back for the final session of Day 4, which will be extended in case light or rain permits. India are still 40-odd runs away from avoiding the follow-on. The onus, more or so lies on Ravindra Jadeja to get India past their first target, along with help from the tail. Mohammed Siraj c Carey b Mitchell Starc 1(11)
And rain returns, as Mitchell Starc expresses his disbelief in the middle. This has been the story of the Day three and four, where whenever Australia claimed a wicket, rain interrupted play. Ravindra Jadeja continues to show defiance in the middle along with Mohammed Siraj, who is lucky to survive in the middle.
OUT! Pat Cummins comes into the attack and provides Australia a breakthrough. Cummins should have bowled earlier and brought in Nathan Lyon for the tailenders. Nitish Kumar Reddy added 53 runs with Ravindra Jadeja, however, his SRH captain rattles his stumps. Nitish Reddy b Pat Cummins 16(61)
This has been a stellar stand for India, with both Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy showcasing determined cricket. Both players have left the ball, which have been outside off-stump line, and also have not offered any shot to the short-ball ploy by Australian bowlers. The duo have added 50 runs in 93 balls.
India are still 65 runs away from avoiding follow-on, which should be their first target, and then look to get as close to Australia's first-innings score as possible. With Josh Hazlewood unavailable to bowl, Pat Cummins has continued to bowl Nathan Lyon from one-end, while pacers bowl from the other end.
India National Cricket Team vs Australia National Cricket Team Live Score Updates: Yet another batting collapse has had the Indian cricket team stare at a defeat, or atleast headed towards one. You can check the India national cricket team vs Australia national cricket team match scorecard here. After Australia were bowled out for 445 runs in their first innings, many would have expected India to come up with a strong response but instead, four wickets went down in no time whatsoever. What was baffling was that all four dismissals was down to poor shot selection as the batters were left to rue their mistakes. Mitchell Starc struck with just the second ball of the innings when he dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal whose flick shot went straight to Mitchell Marsh. And the 'Bison' went on to take another impressive catch at gully to send back Shubman Gill of the bowling of the left-armer. Rohit Sharma (0*) and KL Rahul (33*) were at the crease for India at stumps. IND vs AUS Memes Go Viral After Indian Batters Falter on Rain-Hit Day 3 of Gabba Test in Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.
Josh Hazlewood had Virat Kohli nick behind an away going delivery for the nth time in his Test career and Rishabh Pant had a faint edge when he attempted to block Pat Cummins' delivery. Rain once again made its presence felt but the Indian team clearly is on the backfoot and either an improved performance or the weather can save them from losing this Test match and going down in the series. Australia on the other hand, will look to bowl out India for as low a score as possible and then set a massive target.
