The India Vs Australia 3rd Test of the highly anticipated India tour of Australia, 2024-25 is set to take place at The Gabba, Brisbane, starting on December 14, 2024. Known for its fast and bouncy pitch, The Gabba has been a fortress for Australia, but India famously breached it in 2020-21. With the series potentially on the line, both teams will be eager to dominate.
Australia will rely on their pace attack, featuring Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood, while India will counter with their formidable batting lineup, including Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shubman Gill. Spinners Nathan Lyon and Ravichandran Ashwin could also play crucial roles.
Will Australia reclaim their dominance at The Gabba, or can India repeat history? Stay tuned for live updates, scores, and commentary!
