Earlier, a similar situation had arisen in the Brisbane Test, where India was successful in saving the follow-on thanks to Jasprit Bumrah and Akashdeep. At present, Jadeja is standing at the crease, who had played a brilliant half-century in the last match. On the other hand, Rishabh Pant’s figures in Australia are good. So far, Pant has scored 726 runs at an average of 48.4 while batting in 18 innings of 11 matches in Australia.
