India vs Australia 3rd Test Live Updates: India vs Australia 3rd Test will be played at the historic Gabba ground in Brisbane from 14th December. The match will start at 5:50 am Indian time. In the current five-match series of Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024, India and Australia are currently tied at one each. Team India won the first Test played in Perth by 295 runs, then the Kangaroos won the Adelaide Pink Ball Test by 10 wickets.
So far, a total of 6 Test matches have been played between India and Australia at the Gabba ground in Brisbane, out of which host Australia has won five times. One of their matches ended in a draw, but in the last encounter between the two played in 2021, Team India was victorious by 3 wickets. If we look at the head-to-head record of both the countries in the history of Test cricket, till now 109 matches have been played between them, in which Australia has won 46 times and India has won 33 times.
India won the toss and chose to bowl first in this match. India was seen struggling in bowling in the Adelaide Test, hence India has made 2 changes in its playing eleven for the third Test. Harshit Rana and Ravichandran Ashwin have been kept out and in their place Ravindra Jadeja and Akash Deep have returned to the playing eleven. On the other hand, the Australian team has replaced Scott Boland with Josh Hazlewood.
History shows that the pitch at Gabba has been suitable for fast bowling and India, bowling first, would like to take wickets as soon as possible in the first innings. Apart from this, there may be a change in the batting order of the Indian team because Rohit Sharma batted at the sixth position in the second test, but KL Rahul did not prove to be very effective in the opening. Among the active players, Nathan Lyon is the bowler who has taken the most wickets on the Gabba ground. aus live
