Questions raised on ability, Bumrah replied in 24 hours, hit a sensational six on Pat Cummins.
First KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja put Team India in a good position by scoring brilliant half-centuries in the Gaba Test. After this, Team India's fast bowlers Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah made the job of Team India easy. However, both of them created havoc with the bat and not the ball. Along with this, Bumrah also answered the questions raised about his ability in batting within 24 hours. Along with this, Bumrah, along with Akash Deep, also saved Team India from the danger of follow-on.
Bumrah replied within 24 hours.
On the third day of the Gaba Test, in response to Australia's 445 runs, Team India lost its first four wickets within fifty runs. The team was once again in danger of defeat. After the third day's play ended, a journalist asked Bumrah in a press conference, 'What would you like to say about the Indian team's batting. Although you are not the right person for this question, you are the vice-captain of the team. In such a situation, what do you think about batting?'

Bumrah gave a funny answer to this question of the journalist. He said, 'What you have asked is a very interesting question. But you are doubting my batting ability. You should google and see who has scored the most runs in an over in Tests'. After this, during the fourth day's play, Bumrah also gave the answer with the bat. When Team India's ninth wicket fell at a score of 213 runs, it needed 32 runs to avoid follow-on. During this, he also hit a sensational six to Australian captain Pat Cummins.
Akash Deep and Jaspreet Bumrah returned unbeaten after the fourth day's play ended. There was a partnership of 39 runs between the two for the last wicket. Team India has scored 252 runs. Bumrah remained unbeaten after scoring 10 runs in 27 balls and Akash Deep remained unbeaten after scoring 27 runs in 31 balls. Apart from Bumrah, Akash also hit a long six to Cummins. Earlier, a four came off his bat which ended the threat of follow on.
