For India, Jasprit Bumrah picked up six wickets for 76 runs. India then successfully managed to avoid the follow-on in the Test match in Brisbane.
The Indian team scored 260 in 78.5 overs after a crucial 47-run partnership between Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah for the final wicket. Notably, Australia declared their second innings at 89/7. However, only 2.1 overs were possible in the Indian second innings due to bad weather at the Gabba on Wednesday.
The fourth Test between India and Australia is set to begin on Thursday, December 26, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The winner of the Boxing Day Test match cannot lose the series.
