India vs Australia: Gabba Pitch Curator's Remarks Early Warning For Rohit Sharma And Co

The pitch for the third Test between India and Australia at the Gabba is expected to have traditional pace and bounce considering the game is scheduled in the early part of the summer and not post-Christmas. India's famous win at the Gabba on their previous tour came when the game was scheduled in the second half of the series. A Rishabh Pant special ensured India a back- to-back series win Down Under with Australia left licking their wounds. It was the hosts' first loss at the venue since 1988. Since then Australia have lost to the West Indies at the 'fortress' and no wonder the players prefer to play at the Gabba at the start of the summer and not at end of it.

The move did not work out as both Rohit and Rahul struggled to score runs in the pink-ball Test in Adelaide. However, India are likely to stick with the same batting order in the third Test match as well with the practice session on Thursday dropping major hints about the decision.

First Time In 51 Years: Smriti Mandhana Scripts Never-Before-Seen Record

Smriti Mandhana scored her fourth ODI century of 2024 during India's defeat to Australia at the WACA. This remarkable achievement set a new all-time record for the most centuries scored in a calendar year in women's ODIs, according to Wisden. Mandhana's innings came as India chased 299, a target set by Australia thanks to Annabel Sutherland's 110 off 99 balls, with Ashleigh Gardner and Tahlia McGrath also contributing half-centuries.
