Day 4 Review: Indian Lower Order Holds Firm
India started the day at 51 for 4 and is very likely to be forced to follow on. KL Rahul’s supply with a fightback 84, and a very helpful 77 from Ravindra Jadeja, helped see India past danger. An unbroken partnership between Jasprit Bumrah (10*) and debutant Akash Deep (27*) added another 39 to guide India to 252/9 and avoid the follow-on. Pat Cummins led the parade of bowling superstars with an impressive 4/68, while Mitchell Starc chipped in with three.

Series Status and Going Forward
The series is now tied at 1-1, making it imperative for each team to go to Melbourne for the Boxing Day Test, the last and final test of the series. Australia hopes to see no injury trouble, especiallyregarding Josh Hazlewood’s calf, thus needing to change their bowling lineup. India will be encouraged by lower-order resistance to make profitable use of the momentum provided by an inspiring draw.
