The Indian cricket team is playing the third test match of the series against Australia at the Gabba ground in Brisbane. Only 13.2 overs could be played on the first day of this test match. Play was disrupted due to incessant rain and stumps had to be declared ahead of schedule.
For India, Harshit Rana and Ravichandran Ashwin were replaced by right-arm fast bowler Akash Deep and experienced all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. After winning the toss, Indian captain Rohit Sharma informed about two changes and said that they want to make the best use of the cloudy conditions. “We are going to bowl first. It’s a bit cloudy here and there’s a bit of grass, it looks a bit soft too, I want to make the best of the conditions. There is a lot of cricket left to be played, both the teams have played good cricket in the last two matches. It’s a big game for us here; We will do what is expected of us. We will play good cricket. We understand that we have to capture some moments. “We didn’t do that in the last game, so we lost.”
