The third match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is being played at the Gabba Stadium in Brisbane. The fourth day of this match was in the name of the Indian team. India’s lower order batsmen performed brilliantly and averted the threat of follow on. An important innings of opening batsman KL Rahul was also seen. In this innings, Rahul was the only top-order batsman of India who faced the Australian bowling bravely and also scored runs. In such a situation, after the end of the day’s play, KL Rahul gave a big statement on his batting strategy in the press conference.
KL Rahul explains the formula for scoring runs in Australia
KL Rahul is the batsman who has scored the most runs for India so far in this innings. He faced 139 balls in this innings and scored 84 runs. His innings included 8 fours. He handled one end of the batting with great patience, due to which the Indian team was saved from the danger of follow-on. In the press conference after the fourth day’s play, Rahul said, ‘We have no problem in playing on fast and bouncy pitches, but in the first 20-30 overs you have to respect the bowlers, leave the ball as tight as possible. And then really try to take advantage of the old ball, that’s my batting plan in Test cricket.
KL Rahul further said, ‘It is very important to leave the ball in this situation against good fast bowlers. Not just for me, it is for everyone that it is very important to hit the ball at a good length and outside. This is something you have to do when traveling abroad and playing in Australia.
Bumrah and Akash Deep were greatly appreciated
The batting of Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah also played an important role in averting the danger of follow-on. Both players have so far scored 39 unbeaten runs in 54 balls for the 10th wicket. Praising both the players, KL Rahul said, ‘When Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah were batting, I was ready to bat once again, but then they batted very well. Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah made a big difference in the end. He played really well. Really nice to see that they built a partnership and saved the follow-on.
