Brisbane Weather Forecast: Rain is likely to continue to threaten the Day 5 of the ongoing India vs Australia 3rd Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25. The IND vs AUS Test at The Gabba in Brisbane has been heavily affected by bad weather, with just 196 overs bowled across more than four days of play. 

Despite limited play in the IND vs AUS 3rd Test, Australia have been all over India. However, KL Rahul and India’s lower-order staged a fightback of sorts as they joined hands to help the visitors avoid follow-on. After conceding 445 runs in the first innings, India’s top-order collapse found the visitors in dire straits at 74-5. However a resilient 84-run knock by KL Rahul and 77-run innings by Ravindra Jadeja, along with a 47-run 10th wicket partnership helped the visitors avoid follow-on as India finished with 260 runs.
