IND vs AUS: 2 sixes and history was created, such a record was made for the first time in 77 years
The feat performed by Team India's fast bowlers Jaspreet Bumrah and Akash Deep in Test cricket on 17 December 2024 will be remembered for a long time. These number 10 and number 11 batsmen of Team India played brilliantly for the last wicket and also hit sixes against Australia. With this, for the first time in Tests, Indian batsmen at number 10 and number 11 achieved the feat of hitting sixes against Australia. This feat has happened for the first time in 77 years of history. The first Test series between the two countries took place in 1947. But since then, this has never happened.
Akash-Bumrah hit sixes to Pat Cummins.
In the last session of the fourth day of the third Test at Gabba, Akash and Bumrah played unbeaten innings for the last wicket of Team India. During this innings, both of them hit a six each against Australian captain Pat Cummins. These sixes of both Bumrah and Akash were worth watching, which filled the enthusiasm of the fans as well as the Indian camp.
