AUS vs IND 3rd Test Day 3 Highlights for India tour of Australia, 2024-25
Another day at the Gabba ended without a proper match play due to rain and wet outfield, but Australia still dominated the day despite the limited time they get to during the day. So let’s take a look at AUS vs IND 3rd Test Day 3 Highlights.
Despite losing their last three wickets for 40 runs in today’s play, the Australian bowlers did all right to keep the game in their favour by removing four of India’s top batters early.
India, playing their first innings, still trailing by 397 runs from Australia’s 445, while behind by 198 runs to save follow-on.
Australia vs India third Test Day 3 Highlights
The Aussies went on to post 445 in their first innings thanks to Travis Head and Steve Smith’s 241-run stand for the fourth wicket.
Smith completed his 33rd Test hundred and tenth against India during his 101-run knock, while Travis Head struck his second consecutive ton in the series, having hit 140 in the Pink-ball Test a week before.
Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the bowlers for India, as he bagged six wickets. Mohammed Siraj got two, while Nitish Kumar Reddy and Akash Deep shared 1-1 each.
Indian batters struggle at Gabba
After a disappointing run during the second Test of the series, Indian batters continued to struggle in the first innings of the third test.
At a surface where Australia posted 445, the visiting team already lost four of their main batters at a score of 48.
Jaiswal, who scored a brilliant 161 in the series opener, got out on four, Gill on 1, while Virat Kohli on 3.
There were high expectations from Virat, especially after his hundred at Perth a couple of weeks ago, but his problem edging the outside off stump delivery hurting his prospects of scoring big runs down under.
