A draw is what the result is between India and Australia in the third Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series in Sydney – neither team won or lost at the end of the match. However, the moods in the two dressing rooms would be contrasting: cheers in the visitors’ and gloom in the hosts’.
After being set an unscalable target of 407, India had to bat out 4 sessions in the fourth innings of a Test against an Australian bowling attack comprising of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Nathan Lyon, to save the match and prevent the hosts from taking a lead in the 4-match series.
In a virtual post-match press conference, Ajinkya Rahane said, “This is as good as winning a Test match when you come abroad and play a match like this, it was really special. Credit to Ashwin and Vihari for the way they batted, Pujara, Rohit, Pant everyone chipped into the team’s cause. But credit to Vihari and Ashwin for batting 2.5 hours in the end.”
Team India celebrate their historic escape
The action moves to The Gabba in Brisbane for the fourth and last Test of the series. The Gabba is known as Australia’s fortress as the hosts are on a 28-match unbeaten streak at the venue dating back to 1988.
Moments to cherish for a long time ??
