India Avoids Follow-On in Brisbane Test

In the ongoing third Test between India and Australia, India successfully avoided the follow-on by scoring 252 runs, trailing by 193 runs at the end of Day 4. Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep played crucial roles, adding 39 runs for the last wicket to ensure India surpassed the follow-on target of 245. Earlier, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja had significant contributions with scores of 84 and 77, respectively, helping stabilize India's innings after a shaky start. The Indian batting lineup, including stars like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, has faced criticism for underperformance throughout the series, with younger players also struggling in challenging Australian conditions. The Indian team's future in the match hinges on their ability to build on this effort, as Australia holds a substantial lead. The match's conclusion remains uncertain, influenced by the ongoing rain interruptions and the dynamics of the follow-on rule.
