New Delhi. On the fourth day of the third Test being played between India and Australia (India vs Australia), India made a partnership of 67 runs, thanks to KL Rahul’s 84 runs and Ravindra Jadeja’s 77 runs, taking the team’s score to 141 runs. In the end, Jasprit Bumrah along with Akash Deep did amazing batting and saved India from follow-on. KL Rahul held a press conference after the game was over.
KL Rahul said in the press conference after the day’s play at Gabba, “Today the 1-1 run was important for us, so that we can go ahead of the follow-on. It is good to see lower order batsmen scoring runs. Bumrah and Akash’s small partnership and avoiding follow-ons makes a huge difference. Not only did he score runs in the last half hour, but the courage he showed to keep the bouncers away was also amazing.”
Mohammed Shami is making a comeback, will play his first match on 21st December, ready to make a splash
KL Rahul further said, “Jadeja knows very well what he has to do and how he has to perform. Often, only Jadeja’s bowling is talked about. But I think he is performing brilliantly with the bat also. He has great technique. I like batting with him. It seems that his game plan is simple and straightforward. I am happy that he is performing amazingly in the team. If he had not been there, the team would not have been in this position.”
There is a possibility of rain on the fifth day of play also. It remains to be seen whether it rains on 18th December or not. If the weather remains clear then India will come out to bat with 252 runs. Jasprit Bumrah is playing with 10 runs and Akashdeep is playing with 27 runs. India is still behind by 193 runs.”
