Rain played spoilsport on Day 1 of the third Test between India and Australia at the Gabba, Brisbane, as only 13.2 overs of play were possible before the match was called off on December 14. During the extended break, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli shared a lighthearted moment that caught fans' attention. Rahul was seen offering his snacks to Kohli, a gesture that quickly went viral on social media, providing a rare cheerful highlight amid the weather disruption.
India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and, considering the forecasted weather risks, opted to bowl first. The Australian opening pair, Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeny, remained unbeaten, adding 28 runs in 13.2 overs. However, India’s pacers, led by Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Akash Deep, failed to pose significant threats before the rain forced players off the field.
The incessant rain confined both teams to their dugouts, with little on-field action to analyze. Fans, however, found delight in Rahul and Kohli’s camaraderie during the rain delay, as their mid-game snack exchange became a light-hearted topic across social media platforms.
India entered this Test with momentum from a commanding 294-run victory in the series opener in Perth, only to lose decisively in the second pink-ball Test in Adelaide. With the series level at 1-1, the Brisbane Test holds immense significance as both teams aim to gain the upper hand. Read More
