Jasprit Bumrah and Akash batting deep: The third match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is being played between India and Australia. In this match, India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bowl first, but it turned out to be a mistake. Australia scored 445 runs in the first innings. Thereafter the Indian batsmen performed very poorly. The Indian team’s batting line-up has experienced players such as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli as well as young players such as Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal. But they all failed in front of the Australian bowlers. KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja absolutely scored half-centuries. But in the end, Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep, known for their bowling, came to India’s rescue with their batting.
Brilliant batting by Bumrah-Akash Deep
India lost 9 wickets in one fell swoop for 213 runs in the first innings against Australia. From this point of view, the game for the Indian team seemed to be over soon, and the follow-up danger was imminent. But then Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah appeared at the crease. Both players showed a different spirit when batting and stood up to the lethal Australian bowlers. These players put together a vital partnership of 47 runs for the 10th wicket and saved India’s chase.
