What happened last time India played at Gabba?
India's last outing at Gabba turned out to a historic one. During their previous tour, Rishabh Pant's heroics led India to an incredible victory, chasing down a daunting target on the final day. It was a landmark win that sealed the BGT series for India, breaking Australia's 32-year unbeaten streak at the venue.
Reflecting on this, Indian captain Rohit Sharma expressed excitement about returning to Gabba. In his post-match remarks after the Adelaide Test, he spoke about the special memories associated with the ground.
Head coach Gautam Gambhir finds himself in a tough position. India has managed three wins and four losses in seven matches under his tenure. While the 0-3 home whitewash may already seem like a distant memory, the recent performance in Adelaide raises questions.
India's 10-wicket defeat against Australia, coming days after a dominant 295-run win in the first Test, highlights inconsistency that needs addressing.
