Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar opined that it's unlikely that team management will India pacer Akash Deep with fast bowler Harshit Rana, adding, "Why'd you drop a man who has saved your team from follow-on?" Akash and Jasprit Bumrah stitched a 47-run partnership for the 10th wicket and helped India avoid the follow-on in the third Test against Australia.
