The third Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane started under challenging weather conditions. Only 13.2 overs were possible on the first day due to persistent rain, which disrupted the match after an initial session of play. Australia managed to reach 28/0, with Usman Khawaja (19*) and Nathan McSweeney (4*) at the crease when rain stopped proceedings.
India's captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first. The Indian bowlers, including Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, struggled to find early breakthroughs, with Bumrah delivering a less effective opening spell compared to previous matches. The rain interruptions also prevented the bowlers from building momentum. The match is set to resume with 98 overs scheduled for each of the remaining four days to compensate for the lost time
