On day four of the third Test in Brisbane, India fought to avoid the follow-on after being reduced to 213-9.
With 33 runs needed, last-wicket pair Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep successfully surpassed the follow-on target, sparking celebrations in the India camp.
Despite Australia taking three quick wickets, the absence of Josh Hazlewood due to injury impacted their attack as Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc grew tired. KL Rahul scored 84, and Ravindra Jadeja made 77.
Australia leads by 193 runs. The series is level at 1-1, with both teams aiming for victories to qualify for the World Test Championship final.
