AUS vs IND 3rd TEST: Day 3 of the third Test between India and Australia in Brisbane was marred by constant rain, allowing only 33.1 overs of play. At stumps, India struggled at 51/4, trailing Australia by 394 runs. KL Rahul (33*) and Rohit Sharma (0*) were at the crease, with India needing 246 runs to avoid the follow-on.
Australia, resuming at 405/7, pushed their total to 445, with Alex Carey scoring a fluent 70 before being dismissed by Akash Deep. Jasprit Bumrah claimed his sixth wicket, marking his 50th Test scalp in Australia. Rain interruptions plagued the day, with play being halted six times before being called off.
Australia’s bowlers, led by Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Pat Cummins, exploited the Gabba’s bounce and seam movement. Starc dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill early, while Hazlewood and Cummins removed Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant with sharp deliveries. India’s top order faltered, playing avoidable shots under testing conditions.
Despite the disruptions, Rahul showed composure, playing confidently in challenging conditions. With two days remaining and more rain forecast, India will aim to avoid the follow-on, while Australia eyes a series lead.
