On the fourth day of the Gabba Test, India postponed the follow-on on the basis of an excellent 39-run partnership between number 11 batsman Akashdeep and Jasprit Bumrah. During his batting, Akashdeep hit an amazing six, after which Virat Kohli started jumping with joy, the video of his reaction is going viral on social media. The interesting thing is that Virat Kohli looked so happy that even abusive words came out of his mouth. Let us tell you how all this happened?
Pat Cummins came to bowl in the 75th over of Team India's innings. Team India had to score only four runs to save the follow-on. Akashdeep was in front of Cummins. Akashdeep hit a four over the slip on Cummins' short of good length ball. With this there was a wave of happiness in the Indian dressing room. Team India was in danger of follow-on after 13 years but Akashdeep avoided it. After this Akashdeep did something which no one would have expected. Akash Deep hit a long six on the fourth ball of Cummins in the mid-wicket area.
Virat Kohli became very happy after seeing Akashdeep's excellent six. He jumped up from his seat in the dressing room. In this happiness, abuse also came out of his mouth. On the other hand, captain Rohit Sharma was seen clapping happily and head coach Gautam Gambhir also looked very happy.

With the dismissal of Ravindra Jadeja in the 66th over, it seemed that now Team India will not be able to avoid the follow-on. But Bumrah and Akashdeep had different intentions. Both the players batted with a positive mindset. Bumrah hit an amazing six on Cummins' ball and Akashdeep also played strokes freely. By the end of the day's play, he had scored 27 runs with the help of 2 fours and a six and Bumrah also remained unbeaten on 10 runs. Overall, the partnership of 39 runs between the two has proved to be very important for Team India.
