Indian bowlers put a mini scare in the Aussie camp at rainy Gabba on day five when they sent half of the Australian batting unit back for the score of 33 before weather gods had the last laugh, ending the third Test in a draw. But captain Pat Cummins said his batters were playing according to the situation and, therefore, refused to pay much heed to the scorecard.
Australia bowled India out for 260 after the visitors saved the follow-on with the heroic last-wicket stand of 47 runs between Akash Deep (31) and Jasprit Bumrah (10*). The hosts then went after quick runs, but limped to 89 for 7 when Cummins made a challenging declaration, setting India 275 to win.
