AUS Vs IND 4th Test Match: The Border Gavaskar Trophy series is still 1-1 after the third Test match of this current series was drawn. India won the opening match at Perth and the Aussies clawed their way back in this five-match red ball series in the Pink Ball Test Match at the Adelaide Oval.
However, India would feel that they were lucky enough to escape at The Gabba in Brisbane. Apart from Boom Boom Bumrah, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, no other player from the Men in Blue showed their real worth. Jasprit picked up the most wickets in that match and he is the highest wicket-taker in the series from India.
At the same time, Kannur Lokesh Rahul has looked the most organised Indian batter in this series so far and that too at the opening position. With Rahul, India’s premier spin bowling all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja also batted well in that match and after the retirement of Ashwin, Jaddu would be India’s lead spinner.

Australia, on the other hand, was good in that Test Match. After a low in Perth, the Aussies came back strongly in Adelaide and dominated the red ball match at The Gabba in Brisbane. Cummins and Co. could easily have taken a lead of 2-1, but the rain gods didn’t allow them to do so.
Apart from losing Josh Hazlewood, the Aussies don’t have any more worries because Scott Boland will replace him. Australia will drop McSweeny from the last two matches, and Sam Konstas, a 19-year-old opening batsman from New South Wales, will get a chance to open on the eve of the Boxing Dat Test Match at MCG in Melbourne.
