On Day 4 of the third Test between India and Australia at the Gabba, India showcased resilience to avoid the follow-on, concluding the day at 252/9, trailing by 193 runs. 

The day began with KL Rahul leading India's batting efforts, scoring a commendable 85 runs. He received support from Ravindra Jadeja, who contributed 41 runs. However, Australia's bowlers, led by captain Pat Cummins with four wickets and Mitchell Starc with three, maintained consistent pressure, reducing India to 201/8 at one stage. 

A pivotal moment came with an unbroken 39-run partnership for the tenth wicket between Akash Deep (27*) and Jasprit Bumrah (10*), enabling India to surpass the follow-on mark. Their determination was evident as they faced challenging deliveries and adverse weather conditions, with rain interruptions affecting the day's play. 

Australia's plans were further hampered by the loss of fast bowler Josh Hazlewood, who bowled only one over before leaving the field due to a calf issue. He has been ruled out for the remainder of the series, posing a significant challenge for Australia's bowling attack. 

The day's play concluded early due to bad light, setting the stage for an intriguing final day. India's lower-order resistance has added an unexpected twist, and with weather conditions potentially influencing the outcome, both teams face a challenging path ahead.
