3rd Australia-India Test Ends In Draw After Bad Weather Strikes

The third Test between Australia and India in Brisbane ended in a draw after storms halted the hosts' bid for an unlikely win Wednesday to leave the series locked 1-1. Early tea was taken on the final day at the Gabba because of bad light with India 8-0 having been set a target of 275 for victory, after Australia declared on 89-7. But a big storm swept over the ground during the break and play was abandoned, with the five-Test series now heading to Melbourne and then Sydney.

Akash Deep Apologises Following Bizarre Exchange With Travis Head During Brisbane Test - Watch

Akash Deep apologised to Travis Head following a bizarre exchange on Day 5 of the third Test match between India and Australia in Brisbane on Wednesday. Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah looked quite confident at the start of the day's play and the former looked to play some aggressive shots against Nathan Lyon. While going for a slog sweep, Akash Deep missed the ball completely and it got stuck inside his pads. He quickly took it away and threw it on the ground. The Indian cricketer did not notice that Travis Head thought he will hand him the ball and that led to a chat with the Australian batter.

The Indian batters' inability to grind it out against a relentless Australian pace attack in testing conditions left the team precariously placed at 51 for four at the end of a rain-marred day three of the third Test in Brisbane on Monday. On a stop-start day, India bowled out Australia for 445 in their first innings, the hosts adding 40 runs to their overnight total, as the peerless Jasprit Bumrah continued to do the heavy lifting to finish with excellent figures of 6/76.

Australian cricket team batter Travis Head continued his stunning run of form as he slammed a brilliant hundred on Day 2 of the third Test match against India in Brisbane on Sunday. During his sensational 152-run knock, he hardly gave any chances to the Indian bowlers and even star pacer Jasprit Bumrah struggled to bother him. During the innings, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja were heard creating a strategy to dismiss the in-form opener. In a video going viral on social media, Kohli was seen asking Jadeja to bowl a bit faster and Pant agreed with the suggestion given by the star batter.

Rohit Sharma's Captaincy In Brisbane Test Blasted By Ravi Shastri: "Worst Set Ups..."

India captain Rohit Sharma has come under the scanner for his captaincy on Day 2 of the ongoing 3rd Test against Australia in Brisbane on Sunday. Jasprit Bumrah and Nitish Kumar Reddy gave India a bright start, reducing Australia to 3/75 early in the morning session. However, centuries from Travis Head (152) and Steve Smith (101) saw Australia end the day at a commanding 405/7. Head was the wrecker-in-chief for Australia, scoring at almost run-a-ball during the 241-run stand with Smith.

Zero To Hero: Travis Head Enters History Books With Unique Test Record During 3rd Game

India's bane and Australia's boon, Travis Head, became the first batter to bag a King Pair and century at a venue in the same calendar year. The Gabba considered Australia's fortress, wasn't Head's favourite playground when he turned up to face the West Indies in the day-night Test earlier this year. He was dismissed for a golden duck twice, a 'King Pair' at The Gabba before stepping into the venue once again on Sunday in the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India. When up against his favourite opposition, Head brought thunder down the ground with an explosive display with the bat. Before the southpaw's arrival, the pitch, which appeared to bowler's heaven, quickly evaporated and turned into their worst nightmare.
