BGT 2024-25: Rohit Sharma-led Team India lands in Brisbane ahead of 3rd Test against Australia

Brisbane: Rohit Sharma-led Team India on Wednesday landed in Brisbane ahead of the third Test match of the prestigious Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) against Australia. The five match series is tied with both teams winning 1 test each.

Travis Head’s scintillating century at home, accompanied by brilliant bowling performances from Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins led Australia to a 10-wicket win at the Adelaide Oval in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

The third match of the series between Australia and India will kick off from Saturday at the iconic Gabba.

The official social media handle of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a clip of Team India travelling from Adelaide to Brisbane.
The team was in a relaxed mood as they are looking forward to taking on the mighty Aussies in the third Test match.

Recapping the Adelaide Test, India won the toss and opted to bat first. However, they had to face the wrath of a moving, erratic pink ball and its mastermind, Mitchell Starc (6/48). Except for a 69-run stand for the second wicket between KL Rahul (37 in 64 balls with six fours) and Shubman Gill (31 in 51 balls, with five fours) and a fighting 42 in 54 balls (three fours and three sixes) from Nitish Kumar Reddy, there was not much highlights from India who were skittled out for 180 runs. Skipper Cummins and Scott Boland also took two wickets.
