IND vs AUS Day 4: The third Test between India and Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane has been heavily disrupted by frequent rain, turning the match into a stop-start affair. Each time the players stepped onto the field, the rain returned, creating a frustrating masquerade for everyone involved. In the brief spells of play that were possible, things didn’t go India’s way, as they struggled to find their footing under challenging conditions.
Australia resumed their innings in the morning, adding around 40 runs to their overnight total. Alex Carey led the charge on the field, but surprisingly, he opted for a more cautious approach instead of the aggressive batting everyone had anticipated. It was a steady, calculated start rather than the fiery onslaught fans were hoping to see.
India’s innings got off to a poor start as Yashasvi Jaiswal edged his very first ball for four before being caught off his second. The team looked to Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli for some stability, but both departed cheaply, chasing wide deliveries outside off. Frequent rain interruptions only made matters worse, denying the batters a chance to settle into any rhythm.

The struggles continued when Rishabh Pant nicked one to Mitchell Starc, leaving India in deep trouble at 44/4. The constant breaks in play and relentless Australian bowling kept the Indian lineup under immense pressure.
India find themselves in a deep hole, trailing by a massive 394 runs, and their chances of a comeback in this game seem slim at best. But as grim as their fortunes look on the field, the weather forecast for tomorrow paints an even darker picture. 
Let's take a look at the IND vs AUS DAY 4 Weather Forecast and Rain Possibility in Brisbane:
<h2>IND vs AUS DAY 4 Weather Forecast</h2>

The weather gods seem far from pleased with this Test match. Day 1 was a complete washout, with just a handful of overs bowled before rain took over. Day 2 offered some respite with fewer interruptions, but Day 3 was another frustrating affair, allowing only 33 overs of play amidst constant stoppages.
The outlook for Day 4 isn’t promising either. Thunderstorms and heavy rain are forecast to persist until 2 pm, leaving little hope for uninterrupted action. As the weather continues to dominate the narrative, cricket fans are left wondering if this Test will ever get a fair chance to unfold.
<h3>Rain Prediction </h3>
The day is expected to have a temperature of around 28°C with the rain chances hovering around 70%. The humidity levels of the city would be around 82% and strong winds of over 15KmpH are expected to gust towards North-east.
With rain clouds threatening to take center stage once again, it’s not just India’s batting lineup that needs saving—this entire match hangs by a thread. Australia are in a very strong position and the play of a day can win them this test match while Indian fans would want the rain to play the spoilsport for this test.

India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was at his hilarious best during the press conference after Day 3 of the ongoing Test against Australia. The third game of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 between the teams is taking place at the Gabba in Brisbane. 
Jasprit Bumrah attended a press conference after Day 3 of the match after the Indian team had a poor outing with the bat. The team was at the receiving end of dominance by the Australian bowlers as they lost four quick wickets in response to Australia's 445 runs. 
As Jasprit Bumrah entered the media room, he was asked by one of the reporters to give his take on the Indian bowling. He, however, also said to Pacer that he is not the best person to answer, but he can give his verdict. The reporter asked: 
“Hi, Jasprit. What is your assessment of the batting? Although you are not the best person to answer the question, what do you think about the situation of the team, considering the conditions in Gabba?" 
<h2>You should use Google and see who has got the most number of runs in a Test over - Jasprit Bumrah </h2>
However, Jasprit Bumrah came up with a savage response to this. The fast bowler hilarious mocked the reporter for questioning his batting ability. He asked him to Google the record of Most runs in an over in Tests. He said: 
“It's an interesting question. But you are questioning my batting ability? You should use Google and see who has got the most number of runs in a Test over. But, jokes apart. That's another story." 
You can watch the video below: 
For unversed, Jasprit Bumrah holds the record for Most runs in an over in Tests. The India pacer hammered 34 runs against Stuart Broad during an England vs India Test match in Birmingham back in 2022. During that over, he hit where he hit three fours and three sixes during his knock. 
Jasprit Bumrah individually is having a great game with the ball. The pacer has claimed his second fifer in the series as he picked 6 wickets in the first innings, removing Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh and Mitchell Starc. 
Overall, Jasprit Bumrah is the leading wicket-taker in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. In the three games so far in the ongoing series, he has picked 18 wickets and with the way he is going, the number is only expected to rise.

Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) vice-president Rajiv Shukla has made a massive statement on issues surrounding the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He said their main focus is related to the safety of their players and they cannot send India to Pakistan. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner, and so far, there hasn't been any clarity about where the tournament will be played. This is because BCCI has opted against sending India to Pakistan and has demanded a hybrid model for the tournament. 
But PCB, too, were firm on their stance as they said that they won't be holding the tournament in a hybrid model. This continued for months before the ICC had a meeting, and it was decided that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 would be played in a hybrid model, with ICC offering compensation to PCB. 
PCB has been told to accept the hybrid model, and in compensation for that, they have been told not to visit India for the ICC T20 World 2026. Also, they would be given hosting rights of a Women's tournament after 2027 for accepting the two-nation formula.
<h2>We cannot send them to Pakistan - BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla</h2>
The official statement is yet to come, and amid all this, BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla has delivered his take on the same. He said that they prefer a hybrid model and added that ICC is in talks with PCB, and they hope for an amicable solution. Speaking to PTI, he explained: 
“We [BCCI] prefer a hybrid model. But as the ICC chairman is already looking after it and is in talks with the Pakistan Cricket Board, we hope for an amicable solution with both nations [India and Pakistan] agreeing to it without any bitterness." 
Rajiv Shukla was of the opinion that their main focus is on the safety of players, and hence, they won't be sending the team to Pakistan. He concluded by saying that they are looking for a middle ground to sort things out. He explained: 
"The focus is majorly on our players’ safety, and hence we cannot send them to Pakistan. We are looking for a middle ground to sort things out.”
It remains to be seen what will be the final outcome related to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament is expected to take place in February-March. If the hybrid model is accepted, India games will be played in UAE along with one semi-final and final.

India fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah finally broke the silence on not getting support from pacers in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He was kind to admit that the team is under transition and he is trying to help everyone as they are on the learning curve. 
India pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been the lone warrior for the team in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The fast bowler hasn't gotten any support from the others, but despite that, he is making sure he gives his best with the ball and helps his team be at the top. 
Jasprit Bumrah, who is the leading wicket-taker in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, has been right on the money with the ball even in the ongoing match at The Gabba in Brisbane. He was yet again the shining light for the team as he oozed his class with both old and new balls. 
Despite the lack of support, Jasprit Bumrah has been sensational with the ball. The fast bowler has picked his second fifer in the series and claimed six wickets in the innings, removing Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh and Mitchell Starc. 
Jasprit Bumrah took his team off to a flying start with the ball as he picked up two quick wickets. However, he wasn't backed up well by other pacers as Australian batters wreaked havoc across the bowlers and ended up with a massive total of 445 runs on the board. 
<h2>"We don't point fingers. We are going through a transition - Jasprit Bumrah </h2>
Jasprit Bumrah attended the press conference after the Day 3 of the ongoing game. He was asked about not getting support from the other bowlers. Replying to this, he claimed that they don't point fingers at anyone as young bowlers will learn from it. He said: 
"We don't point fingers. We are going through a transition. Not the easiest place to play. I am trying to help, everyone will learn and get better. This is a journey. We have 11 players, we are a new team. All these journeys will help them get better."
Jasprit Bumrah also elaborated on the criticism that the team is facing, saying that he cannot take extra baggage. He wants to give his best with the ball and focus on himself. He said: 
"I cannot take extra baggage I don't take any opinion seriously. I look at myself and answer and give my absolute best. I ask that end of day and I accept the results."

"Cannot take extra baggage"- Jasprit Bumrah issues huge statement on not getting support from bowlers

Cannot-take-extra-baggage--Jasprit-Bumrah-issues-huge-statement-on-not-getting-support-from-bowlers

The year 2024 has seen many ups and downs for India in cricket. India started with a home series test win over England and went on to break the ICC trophy drought as they won the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. But they have also lost their first-ever home test series since 2012.
For the first time, they suffered a test series whitewash at home and also lost an ODI series in Sri Lanka. Apart from that, after winning four consecutive Border-Gavaskar Trophies, it looks like India might lose the ongoing BGT trophy, which will also end their hopes to qualify for the World Test Championship final 2023-25. So, what has changed between the first half of the year and the second half? The answer is the role of coach.
India had Rahul Dravid as coach until the T20 World Cup 2024. After him, Gautam Gambhir took over the Cup and had a mixed stint. Gambhir had a good record in the shortest format, but his presence in red-ball cricket has not helped India. Below we will talk about Gambhir's record as a head coach so far.
<h2>Gautam Gambhir as Head Coach in Test Cricket</h2>
It has been very hard for Gautam Gambhir as head coach. Notably, before him, India had a winning streak of over a decade at home. They didn't lose a home series since 2012. Though Gambhir's stint began with a brilliant 2-0 cleansweep over Bangladesh but that was the only happiness he had as coach.
After that, India suffered a humiliating 0-3 whitewash at the hands of New Zealand, which hurt India's chances of making it to the WTC final. The captain-coach duo of Gambhir and Rohit Sharma became the first pair to lose a home test bilateral series by losing all games.
India did secure a win after that against Australia in Perth. But then, lost the day-night test in Adelaide. So far, under Gautam Gambhir, India have played seven tests, won two, and lost four.

<h2>Gautam Gambhir as Head Coach in ODI Cricket.</h2>
There have not been many ODIs for India since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach. India only played a three-match ODI series in Sri Lanka, which they lost 2-0, as one game was tied. Gambhir started his coaching stint with a series defeat in ODIs.

<h2>Gautam Gambhir as Head Coach in T20I Cricket</h2>
The shortest format is one format that has seen India doing well under Gambhir. And why not? The BCCI appointed Gambhir as head coach after helping KKR to win the IPL 2024, and he has done pretty well in T20Is.
It started with a 3-0 win in Sri Lanka just after Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravindra Jadeja retired from T20Is. India then won the T20I series against Bangladesh at home and beat South Africa 3-1 in South Africa. Though VVS Laxman was the interim coach in South Africa but technically, it will be counted under Gambhir.

Gautam Gambhir joined the Indian head coach after Rahul Dravid stepped down after the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 win.

India under Gambhir: Here's how India have performed under head coach Gautam Gambhir so far

india-under-gambhir-heres-how-india-have-performed-under-head-coach-gautam-gambhir-so-far

Destructive left-handed Australian batsman Travis Head has proven to be a constant headache for the Indian Cricket Team be it in T20 Internationals, One Day Internationals or Test-Matches. He never fails to deliver versus Team India. 
Former Indian Cricketer Mohammad Kaif asked the other whether the Men in Blue have found a solution to get rid of Head Or not, who single-handedly led the Aussies to victory with a hundred in the 2023 WTC Final, 2023 ODI World Cup Final, the Adelaide Test-Match and most recently the Gabba Test-Match too. Kaif also went on to question why the Rohit Sharma-led Team have failed to find the weaknesses of Head just as their opponents have found ways to get rid of Virat Kohli. 
Let's take a look at what the stats say and see what kind of strategies the Indian Cricket Team should use to prevent Head from becoming a nightmare in the remaining Tests as well. 

<h2>Offside Trap</h2>
Travis Head has a tendency of getting hit by balls that come to the 4th and 5th stumps at the beginning of the inning. The 30-year-old, who is also a great off-side player, will also play these same balls well once he gets set at the crease. Therefore, statistics say that if at the first 10 deliveries of the inning are bowled to him on the fourth or fifth stumps line, then there's a bigger chance of dismissing Head.
<h2>The weapon known as the bouncer</h2>
Another area where Travis Head has a weakness is the the short-pitched deliveries which hit the body. The 30-year-old, who played a magnificent inning of 140 runs in 141 deliveries in the first inning in the Adelaide test, has faced a total of just five bouncers in total. While he has an average of 55 versus the short balls, the figures show that this drops to 20 for short-pitched deliveries which hit the body. 
But on short-pitched deliveries that miss the target, the average of the 30-year-old increases to 83.5. If the ball pitches outside the off-stump, the average sees a significant increase to 173. Thus, if you know how to execute proper bouncers, If you don't follow the accurate line and length, then there's a chance of retaliation shown by Head. 
In the Adelaide Test-Match, a total of 34 short-pitched deliveries were bowled to Head by the Indian bowlers, but majority of them were in the outside off-stump region. Only five of them were hitting the body and the balls bowled outside off were also smashed for boundaries by the Southpaw. 
<h2>Prevent runs, know yorkers</h2>
The third strategy to keep Head safe is to block easy runs. Along with that, try yorkers. Head was dismissed by Siraj's yorker in Adelaide and Harshit Rana's yorker in the first innings in Perth. Earlier this year, when West Indies defeated Australia at the Gabba, Shamar Joseph also dismissed Head with a yorker. But even there, if there is no accuracy, if the over is pitched or full, Head will be hit.

Australia achieved a massive feat in Test cricket for the first time since 2014/15. The Pat Cummins-led side posted a total of over 400 in an innings for the first time in 11 Tests across three home series against India.  
Australia achieved the feat during the second day of the ongoing third Test against India. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 match between the teams is taking place at the Gabba in Brisbane as the match commenced on Saturday (14th December).

Australia openers Usman Khawaja (21) and Nathan McSweeney couldn't make a bigger impact with the bat on Day two as they perished early. Marnus Labuschagne had the same fate as the hosts was left at 73 for three as it seemed India would have a great day. 
<h2>Travis Head and Steve Smith slam brutal centuries to take game completely away from India </h2>
However, after that Travis Head (152) and Steve Smith (101) came up with the rescue charge and took the game away for India. The duo slammed their respective tons and added 241 runs for the fourth wicket, taking the team past 300 runs. 
India made a slight comeback as they picked quick wickets, with Jasprit Bumrah taking another fifer, his second in the series. Alex Carey (45*) hit some valuable runs in the end as Australia ended day two with 405, achieving a massive feat after a decade. 
With this, it marked the first instance when Australia crossed 400+ runs Total against India in Australia in Test Cricket since the 2014/15 series. 
400+ Scores by Australia in 
2018/19 BGT Series - 0 time
2020/21 BGT Series - 0 time
2024/25 BGT Series - 1 time
India would be hoping to make a comeback in the match by picking quick wickets. Australia on the other hand would want to go past 450 runs and completely take the game away from India.

The third Test-Match of the ongoing 2024 Border-Gavaskar Trophy is currently being played at the iconic Gabba Cricket Ground of Brisbane, in which Indian Cricket Team's nightmare Travis Head has once again become a headache for Rohit Sharma &amp; CO. The Southpaw once again faced the Indian bowlers in a brave manner and scored a phenomenal hundred in 115 deliveries. 
<h2>Head celebrated his century in style</h2>
This century has also helped the 30-year-old to create a unique record in his name. Head has become the first player in the history of the game to score a century and bag a King-Pair (golden duck in both innings of a Test-Match) in the same Cricket Ground in the same calendar year. 
<img alt="Travis Head celebrates his century with Steven Smith, Australia vs India, 3rd Test, Brisbane, 2nd day, December 15, 2024" class="ds-rounded-xl" src="https://img1.hscicdn.com/image/upload/f_auto,t_ds_w_1200,q_50/lsci/db/PICTURES/CMS/393000/393039.jpg" width="291" height="437" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">
The destructive batter celebrated his century in his trademark celebration style, resting his helmet on the handle of the bat. He brought up his ton on the third delivery of the 69th over of the first Australian inning by hitting Bumrah's low full-toss delivery towards the wide mid-on region for three runs.
The 30-year-old then even want on to cross the 150 runs mark but was eventually dismissed after playing a wonderful knock of 152 runs in 160 deliveries at a strike-rate of 92 in the 1st inning of the Gabba Test-Match versus the Indians. He got out off the bowling of Indian Vice-Captain Jasprit Bumrah.
<h2>A unique record in the name of Travis Head</h2>
This ton in the Gabba Test-Match versus the Men in Blue gave Travis Head a special place in the history of the sport as he became the first batter to bag double golden ducks in both the innings of a test (King-Pair) and score a hundred at the iconic Gabba Cricket Stadium in the same calendar year. This feat has never been accomplished before, due to which Head's name was recorded in Cricket's record books. 
In the Pink-Ball Test-Match versus the Windies at the Gabba Cricket Stadium in early 2024, the 30-year-old had been dismissed on the very first ball in both innings. In the 1st inning, experienced seamer Kemar Roach dismissed him for a golden duck while in the 2nd inning, youngster Shamar Joseph clean bowled him on the first ball. The Windies went on to win that contest by a small margin of eight runs.
<h3>List of batters who have scored a century and bagged King-Pairs at the same stadium</h3>
1. Wazir Mohammad of Pakistan, in Port of Spain in the year 1958
2. Alvin Kallicharran of West Indies, in Port of Spain in the year 1974
3.Marvan Atapattu of Sri Lanka, in Colombo in the year 2001
4.Ramnaresh Sarwan of West Indies, in Kingston in the year 2004
