The third match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy is being played at Gabba Stadium in Brisbane. The fourth day of this match was in the name of the Indian team. India's lower order batsmen performed brilliantly and averted the threat of follow on. At the same time, an important inning was also seen from opener KL Rahul. In this innings, Rahul was the only batsman from India's top order who faced the Australian bowling fiercely and also scored runs. In such a situation, KL Rahul gave a big statement on his batting strategy in the press conference after the end of the day's play.

KL Rahul told how to score runs in Australia

KL Rahul is the batsman who has scored the most runs for India so far in this innings. He faced 139 balls in this innings and scored 84 runs. His innings included 8 fours. He handled one end of the batting very patiently, due to which the Indian team could avoid the danger of follow-on. Rahul said in the press conference after the fourth day's play, 'We have no problem in playing on fast and bouncy pitches, but in the first 20-30 overs you have to respect the bowlers, leave the ball and bowl as much as possible. Play tight and then really try to take advantage of the old ball, that's my batting plan in Test cricket.

KL Rahul further said, 'It is very important to leave the ball in these conditions against good fast bowlers. Not just for me, it is for everyone that it is very important to leave balls of good length and outside off. This is something you have to do when traveling abroad and playing in Australia.

Lots of praise for Bumrah and Akash Deep

The batting of Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah also played an important role in averting the danger of follow-on. Both the players have so far added 39 unbeaten runs on 54 balls for the 10th wicket. Praising these two players, KL Rahul said, 'When Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah were batting, I was ready to bat once again, but then they batted very well. Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah made a big difference in the end. He played really well. It was really good to see that they built a partnership and postponed the follow-on for us.
