During the thrilling final day of the third Test between India and Australia at Brisbane’s iconic Gabba Stadium, a funny and unexpected moment brought smiles to everyone watching. Indian cricketer Akash Deep and Australian player Travis Head gave fans a reason to laugh amidst the intense action on the field.
Oops! A Quick Realization
While batting, Akash Deep found himself in a bit of a sticky situation – literally! The cricket ball got stuck in his leg pads. Trying to free it, he used his hand to take the ball out and then dropped it on the ground.
Enter Travis Head, who walked over and gestured for the ball. That’s when it hit Akash – handling the ball with your hand during play is against the rules! Realizing his error, Akash quickly apologized to Travis.
This funny moment, caught by the stump mic, instantly became a highlight of the day. Fans and commentators couldn’t stop talking about it!

Pressure on, But Fun Stays
At the time, India was trying to overcome a big first-innings lead of 185 runs by Australia. Akash Deep, batting alongside Jasprit Bumrah, played a small but important role, adding 47 runs for the last wicket.
But even during such a pressure-filled match, this fun little moment reminded everyone that cricket is not just about competition—it’s about camaraderie and the human side of the game.
