Australia Announce Playing XI For 3rd Test vs India, Make One Big Change

Australia's Josh Hazlewood was cleared of injury Friday to reunite with fellow pace spearheads Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc for the crunch third Test against India in Brisbane. The five-match series is finely poised at 1-1 after the visitors won the first game in Perth by 295 runs before crumbling to a 10-wicket defeat with the pink ball in Adelaide. Hazlewood took five wickets in Perth but picked up a side strain that ruled him out of the next clash. Scott Boland performed admirably in his place, but it was not enough to save him.

"Overweight, Flat Track Bully": Ex-South Africa Star Launches Brutal Attack On Rohit Sharma

It has been a tough few months for Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma. In the last seven matches since the start of the Test season against Bangladesh, India have managed to post a 250-plus total just four times and a major reason behind that has been the poor show from Rohit and Virat Kohli. Rohit (142 runs in six Tests) has struggled massively and his fortunes did not change in the second Test match against Australia where he once again left experts and fans disappointed. In an interview with Insidesport, former South Africa cricketer Daryll Cullinan launched a brutal attack on Rohit as he called the India captain 'overweight' and a 'flat-track bully' while adding that he is not a "long-term option".

Australia Great Questions Team India, Calls This Factor 'Unacceptable' Ahead Of 3rd Test

Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden has advised India to bat first in the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia, starting on December 14, even if the conditions on offer at the Gabba in Brisbane are challenging. The current five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series is locked 1-1 after Australia beat India by 10 wickets at Adelaide Oval. The last time India played a Test in Brisbane, they outclassed Australia by three wickets to win the 2020/21 series 2-1, on the back of Rishabh Pant's heroic 89 not out.

Fans In Brisbane Given A Treat, Get To Watch Net Sessions Of India And Australia

Ahead of the third Test Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 between India and Australia at The Gabba, cricket fans expressed their feelings after witnessing the net sessions of both teams. The third Test of the series is set to begin on December 14 at the Brisbane Cricket Ground. Following a resounding 295-run defeat to the visitors at Perth's Optus Stadium--where standout performances from Jasprit Bumrah, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, and Yashasvi Jaiswal were on display--the hosts bounced back strongly.

How Did Mitchell Starc React To Yashasvi Jaiswal's "Too Slow" Sledge? Ricky Ponting Says...

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes a cheeky remark from India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal during the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series may have given extra motivation to Mitchell Starc to deliver his career-best performance in the second Test in Adelaide. Jaiswal contributed a knock of 161 in the second innings of the series opener in Perth. During his stellar knock, he remarked that Starc was "bowling too slow". The comment brought a wry smile to the face of Starc at the time, but it was the left-arm quick that had the last laugh when he dismissed the India opener for a duck with a peach on the very first delivery of the match in Adelaide.

"When You Have The Best Bowler In The World....": Mitchell Marsh On Plans To Attack Jasprit Bumrah During 3rd Test

Ahead of the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India, Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh highlighted the importance of taking on pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. Marsh noted that merely "seeing off" the "best bowler in the world" could lead to losing one's wicket, emphasising the need to adapt to the situation and apply pressure with attacking batting when required. The third Test of the series is set to begin on December 14 at the Brisbane Cricket Ground.

Not The Time To Look At What Happened At Gabba In 2021: Mitchell Marsh

The Australian team doesn't have the time to think about India's incredible victory at the Gabba in 2021 and ahead of their face-off at the same venue almost four years later, Mitchell Marsh says the home side would rather focus on its ability to bounce back like it did in Adelaide last week. On the previous tour, Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill had starred in a historic series winning fourth innings chase at the Gabba, handing Australia their first loss at the venue since 1988.
