IND vs AUS, 3rd Test: With series levelled at 1-1, India aims to recreate Gabba magic against host Australia

Wedged between high-rises, a massive hospital, busy roads lined with flame of the forest and frangipani trees, supermarkets and old-world cafes, the Gabba seems an oasis of calm. With a 1-1 backdrop, the third Test, the middle one in a long-drawn battle of five contests, should offer a fascinating insight into how India and Australia will shape up for the rest of the series. The previous clashes at Perth and Adelaide had an air of inevitability due to India’s 295-run triumph and Australia’s riposte - a ten-wicket victory. The spice-quotient, though, has been enhanced following the incident involving Mohammed Siraj and centurion Travis Head at Adelaide, while rival skippers Rohit Sharma and Pat Cummins have gone easy on the rhetoric, being the antacids to quell heartburn. The bigger picture of a spot in the ICC World Test Championship final remains, but more importantly, Rohit’s men have to emulate what previous units led by Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane, respectively, did in the 2018-19 and 2020-21 tours.
