Akash Deb hits a six off Pat Cummins, leaves Virat Kohli and the Indian dressing room stunned

Indian national cricket team player Akash Deb got his team back into the game in the ongoing Test against the Australia national cricket team. The third Test of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played at the Gabba in Brisbane.

After Ravindra Jadeja’s exit, it was also certain that the Australia national cricket team would field the India national cricket team before the follow-up result. However, Akash Deep had other plans as he teamed up with Jasprit Bumrah and brought back the pressure on the Pat Cummins-led side.

Akash Deb came up with a brilliant effort with the bat, showing great determination and resilience to help India avoid the follow-on

Akash Deb gave a fantastic effort with the bat as he showed a lot of determination and resilience. The fast bowler, along with Jasprit Bumrah, showed great maturity and slowly put a mark on the scoreboard. Then he made sure he helped the Indian national cricket team avoid a follow-on in the third Test.

When the Indian national cricket team avoided following up, Akash Deb rubbed salt in the wounds of the Australian national cricket team. The fast bowler came up with a stunning six against skipper Pat Cummins which made the entire Indian dressing room stand up and applaud him.

Pat Cummins bowled a full ball outside the off stump, as Akash hit a massive hit. He sent the ball sailing over deep mid-wicket with a clean hit for a huge six and made the captain of the Australian national cricket team look clueless.

This left Virat Kohli completely stunned in the dressing room along with coach Gautam Gambhir and other members of the Indian team. They looked thrilled with the huge six-pack as the video went viral.

Akash Deb plays an unbeaten innings of 27 runs off 31 balls, adds 39 runs in partnership with Jasprit Bumrah

Akash played an unbeaten innings of 27 runs off 31 balls. In addition to the large number of six, it also reached two limits. He, along with Jasprit Bumrah, who was unbeaten at the age of 10, added a 39-run partnership and led the India national cricket team to over 250 runs.

With their impressive efforts with the bat, the India national cricket team likely saved the match, which seemed headed towards Australia. The match now appears to be heading towards a draw, and this will be a huge confidence booster for the team heading into the final two matches.

Earlier in the day, KL KL (84) and Ravindra Jadeja (77) played vital knocks for the team and kept them in the hunt despite wickets falling at regular intervals. Together the duo made more than 50 runs and put Australia under pressure.
