IND vs AUS 3rd Test, Day 4: After a disappointing loss in the Adelaide day-night Test, Team India is once again struggling in the third Test in Brisbane. Following a rain delay, India’s top order failed to deliver once again. However, Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul showed great determination on the fourth day of the match against Australia (IND vs AUS) on Tuesday. Their aggressive half-centuries helped India avoid the follow-on in the rain-affected Test, which now seems headed for a draw.

Jadeja (77 runs off 123 balls, 7 fours, and 1 six) and Rahul (84 runs off 139 balls, 8 fours) played crucial roles in steering India to 252/9 before play ended early due to poor light. Nitish attempted a power-hitting style but was dismissed for just 16 runs. Jasprit Bumrah (10) and Akash Deep (27) also showed commendable grit while holding the field for India. At stumps on day four, India trails Australia by 193 runs.

Rohit Sharma’s Stump Mic Audio Goes Viral in 3rd Test Against Australia

Team India faced significant challenges in the third Test against Australia due to poor batting performances, with captain Rohit Sharma coming under heavy scrutiny. Once again, Rohit Sharma struggled, failing to capitalize and scoring only 10 runs.

In the fourth over of Mitchell Starc on the fourth day, KL Rahul played the ball towards mid-on and attempted to take a run. However, confusion arose as both batsmen were uncertain about running, leading to a moment of chaos. Ultimately, Rohit Sharma had to complete the run by driving the ball, and after doing so, he stood up and apologized to KL Rahul, saying, “Ruk Gya Tha Yaar!”
