Time: 5:50 AM IST

With the series currently tied at 1-1, both teams will aim to get the lead in the five-match test series. Australia dominated in the second Test and now it’s India’s turn to bounce back.

India heads into the third Test determined to recover from their setback in the second match. The Gabba’s pace-friendly conditions demand an exceptional show from their batting lineup, led by captain Rohit Sharma and stalwart Virat Kohli. The Indian top-order must counter the formidable Australian pace attack, with players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul needing to provide a solid foundation.

The middle-order, featuring Shubman Gill, will be crucial in stabilizing the innings if early wickets fall. On the bowling front, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj are expected to lead the charge, leveraging swing and bounce to disrupt Australia’s batting lineup. Ravichandran Ashwin’s experience could also prove pivotal in containing runs and striking at crucial moments.

Australia comes into the third Test with significant momentum. They excelled in the second Test, with their pace battery, spearheaded by Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, dominating the proceedings. The Gabba’s bouncy surface is tailor-made for their bowling style, giving them an undeniable edge.

Their batting lineup, bolstered by Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith, has displayed remarkable consistency. The lower middle-order, including Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh, adds depth and balance. Australia will aim to maintain pressure with early breakthroughs and control the game through steady partnerships.
