AUS vs IND: Memories of Gabba still fresh as India hits the nets ahead of third Test against Australia

The Hindu  

Flecks of bright yellow, chocolate brown and mild blue were the colour tones of the spectator chairs in the stands, and out in the middle, it was a green expanse with the pitch too adding its bit with a lighter shade. The Gabba bathed in sunlight is a pretty sight and it was here in January 2021, that Rishabh Pant anchored a stunning chase as India defeated Australia and retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at 2-1. Pant, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Mohammed Siraj and Washington Sundar, part of the current squad, played that game together, while the then coach, Ravi Shastri, is back Down Under as a commentator and columnist. Coach Gautam Gambhir spoke briefly and then an animated Virat Kohli held centre stage. Rahul, Gill, Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit, Pant and Washington, were all part of the initial set of batters, fine-tuning their craft.
