IND vs AUS 3rd Test Schedule, Live Streaming, Date, Pitch Report, Weather Rohit Sharma and Co. will aim to make a turnaround when the face Pat Cummins’ Australia in the third Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in Brisbane from Saturday.
India will aim to dive into memories of their historic Gabba Test win the last time they were here in 2021. With the batting group under the pump, India will be desperate for seniors Rohit and Virat Kohli to step up to rekindle their chances for the World Test Championship final. India cannot endure another defeat and a winning streak will need to inevitably begin from this weekend at Gabba. Australia will be buoyed by the return of the in-form Josh Hazlewood while India are likely to ring in a couple of changes in their bowling department.
Here’s a look at all the details
India predicted XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Rohit Sharma, Washington Sundar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep.
Player to watch out for: Shubman Gill will have happy memories of his 91 at the venue in 2021. He has not had the best of runs since then in overseas Tests, scoring only one more fifty in three years. Can he turn it around in Brisbane this time?
Australia XI: Nathan McSweeney, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitch Marsh, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.
Player to watch out for: Returning to the XI after missing the Adelaide Test, Josh Hazlewood has returned two five-wicket hauls against India at the venue in 2014 and 2021, and holds an impressive record overall at the ground. India will be wary of Hazlewood’s probing line and lengths this time as well.
