Watch: KL Rahul yells, B****c**d as Akash Deep whacks Pat Cummins for a massive six

India pacer Akash Deep brought his best with the ball in the ongoing third Test against Australia. The fast bowler oozed his class at the Brisbane in Gabba, which is known as the happy hunting ground of the Pat Cummins-led side. 

In what was an enthralling day of Test cricket, India almost saved the Test match at the Gabba in Brisbane. They came up with a fighting effort with the bat and avoided the follow-on going into the last day, thanks to the effort of KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Akash Deep. 

The start of day four didn't go the way India wanted, as they resumed at 51 for four. Skipper Rohit Sharma was the first wicket to fall as Pat Cummins had his number for the 6th time in Test cricket. But it came as a blessing in disguise for India. 

This is because, after that, KL Rahul (84) and Ravindra Jadeja (77) came up with a valiant effort that brought India back in the game. The Rahul-Jadeja duo stitched 67 runs for the sixth wicket before Nitish Kumar Reddy supported Jadeja as the duo added 53 runs for the seventh wicket, and it seemed India would avoid the follow-on. 

Australia made a strong comeback, and it seemed they would warp up the Indian innings before the follow-on score of 245. But Akash Deep (27*) and Jasprit Bumrah (10*) came up with a magical effort with the bat as they batted incredibly well and avoided the follow-on. They added unbeaten 39 runs before bad light forced umpires to take stumps on Day 4 

Akash Deep, in particular, looked solid with the bat. He showed great courage and fought hard as he slowly ticked in the scorecard and ensured India avoided the follow-on. As he went past 245 runs, he applied salt on the wounds of Australian bowlers with a massive six to Pat Cummins. 

Akash Deep shines with bat, slams Pat Cummins for a massive six, makes KL Rahul awestruck

Akash Deep went for a slog to full delivery by Pat Cummins. He timed the ball to perfection as the ball went on to land into the stands. This made the entire Indian dressing stand and applaud him, but the epic reaction came from KL Rahul, who was sitting in the dugout. 

The batter was seen saying B******d in acknowledgement as the ball went into the stands. Akash Deep ended the Day with a score of 27 runs off 31 balls. He and Bumrahadded 39 runs partnership.
