IND vs AUS 3rd Test, Day 5 Highlights: Rain plays spoilsport as Gabba Test ends in stalemate
India vs Australia Live Updates: Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah's final wicket stand of 47 runs not only helped India overhaul the requirement for the visitors to avoid the follow-on but also instilled some confidence in a glum-looking dressing room. The coaches, the captain and the former captain were jumping with joy as if India had won the Test match. However, the fight shown by some of the batters against all the odds, including the two fast bowlers indicated that this team was up for a fight. Yes, India have been helped by rain and the innumerable delays but you have to give credit where it is due as Australia with a bowler short looked tired and done after a middling day in the field.
