As Rohit, Kohli, Other Batters Struggle, Shubman Gill Reveals "Key Discussion" In Team

India batter Shubman Gill says the need to put up a big first innings total has been the talking point among his team's batters ahead of the third Test against Australia and each one of them has devised a plan to make it happen at the Gabba.

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes left-handed batter Travis Head is well on his way to becoming one of the batting greats of the modern-day game. Head was named Player of the Match after scoring a stunning 140 off 141 balls to help Australia beat India by ten wickets in the day-night Test at the Adelaide Oval and help the hosts' level the five-match series at 1-1. Head has been India's nemesis over the last 18 months – making magnificent 163 in the 2023 World Test Championship final and a match-winning 137 in the ODI World Cup final later that year.

The third Test of the series is set to begin on December 14 at the Brisbane Cricket Ground.

Onus On Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli As India Gear Up For Potentially Make-Or-Break Test

Rohit Sharma's elegance and Virat Kohli's class will face the ultimate 'Test' when India take on an Australian team eager to set the record straight on a spicy Gabba track in the third game of the Border-Gavaskar series, starting Saturday. With the series locked at 1-1, Brisbane could well decide the course of the rubber and whether Rohit's men would continue to be the master of their fate in the ongoing World Test Championship. For India, the biggest hope remains in Australia's batting vulnerability which can lead to an implosion if a certain Travis Head doesn't decide to be the marauder.

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.
