Sat Dec 28 02:40:00 UTC 2024: ## Youngsters Steer India Away From Follow-on in Tense Fourth Test
**Ahmedabad, India:** India avoided a follow-on against Australia on day three of the fourth Test, thanks largely to the impressive performances of young batsmen Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar. Facing a significant deficit, the pair provided crucial resistance, leaving India with four wickets remaining at the close of play. While a first-innings lead remains a challenging prospect, India will aim to minimize their deficit to under 100 runs before their second innings. The burden now rests on the remaining batsmen to build on the foundation laid by Reddy and Sundar and prevent a substantial Australian advantage going into the final two days.
