Rohit Sharma hits back: 'No harm celebrating' follow-on moment

After India avoided the follow-on during the dramatic last hour on day four of the drawn third Test against Australia in Brisbane, the moment sparked celebrations in the Indian dressing room, which the Australian team and media found a bit surprising considering India were still almost 200 runs behind the hosts. But Rohit believed it was a "little victory" that could leave an impact on the end result of the series and there was "no harm celebrating" it.

After India lost their ninth wicket at 213, No. 11 Akash Deep came out to join Jasprit Bumrah. Together, they built an unbeaten 39-run stand before the day's play concluded on Tuesday, helping India surpass 246 -- the follow-on mark.
