NEW DELHI: After a 10-wicket defeat in the pink-ball Test in Adelaide, India would be looking to bounce back in the third Test in Brisbane in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
The last time India played a Test at the Gabba in January 2021, India broke Australia’s 32-year undefeated streak at the ground with Rishabh Pant hitting an unbeaten 89 to chase down 328.
How can India still qualify for World Test Championship final?
The official broadcaster of the series shared a clip on their official X handle in which Cheteshwar Pujara, who played significant roles in India’s successive series victories on their last two tours, tells the three things that India must do to win at Gabba.
Pujara says, “We will have to improve our batting, our bowling is good but the game plan against Travis Head has to improve. We have to put the Adelaide defeat behind and make a fresh start in the series and repeat the first Test’s performance.”
Australia’s defeat to India in January 2021 was their first loss at the venue since 1988 and the game was scheduled in the second half of the series.
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.
India won the opening Test in Perth by 295 runs before succumbing to the moving pink ball in Adelaide.
