The Border-Gavaskar series is tied at 1-1. While Team India started the series with a bang in Perth, the counter-attack of the Kangaroos in Adelaide was also strong. The third match of the series is now to be played at Gaba ground. The same ground where Team India wrote the story of historic victory in the year 2021. Forgetting the defeat in the second test, the Indian team is eager to rock the Gabba once again. Team India sweated a lot in the practice session. Rohit, Kohli and Yashasvi were seen together in the net session and all three practiced for a long time.
Complete preparations are underway for 2-1 in Gaba
BCCI has shared a video on its X account, in which the Indian team is seen practicing vigorously in the nets session. Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma sweated profusely while batting. Yashasvi and Kohli also looked in good form and were seen hitting some powerful shots. Ravindra Jadeja, who was out of the playing eleven in the first two Test matches, was also seen practicing a lot. In the video, Mukesh Kumar and Akashdeep Singh were also seen bowling in the nets for a long time. Yash Dayal was also seen bowling in the video.
How is the record in Gaba?
In the year 2021, the Indian team gave a tremendous performance and defeated the Kangaroos at the Gabba ground. On this ground, Australia had to face defeat at the hands of Team India after 31 years. However, the overall record of the Indian team in Gabba has not been anything special. Team India has played a total of 6 test matches on this ground so far, out of which the Indian team has faced defeat in 4 matches. Team India has won only one Test match at the Gabba, while one match ended in a draw.
Team India flopped in Adelaide
After the victory in Perth, Team India’s performance in Adelaide was shameful. The team’s batting order flopped badly in both the innings. In the first innings the entire Indian team collapsed for just 180 runs. In the second innings also, the Indian batsmen easily defeated the Kangaroo bowlers. Australia performed brilliantly in the second test and tasted victory by 10 wickets.
