Ahead of the third Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 Test match against Australia, Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir had a good time with the Star Sports staff during a live performance. The five-match series is presently equal at 1-1 as the two teams picked up one clinical win each in Perth and Adelaide. Under Gautam Gambhir's guidance, Team India players are putting in a lot of effort in the nets following a dismal 10-wicket loss in the pink-ball Test in hopes of making a comeback in Brisbane, where the third Test starts on Saturday (December 14).
Gautam Gambhir's tries to open the door
To show fans Gautam Gambhir's playful side, Star Sports posted a video to their Instagram account. It showed Harbhajan Singh and a host assessing the Indian team in preparation for the upcoming Test match, while Gambhir smiled and joked with the two as he attempted to open a locked door between them.
India eye comeback in Gabba
Team India, led by captain Rohit Sharma and ace batsman Virat Kohli, is focused on red-ball preparations in Adelaide after suffering a devastating 10-wicket defeat in the pink-ball Test. They are determined to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy again. In order to focus on defensive strategies and decision-making against red-ball deliveries, the Indian team decided to remain in Adelaide for a rigorous training session.
Ahead of the third Test, the Australian squad has already relocated to Brisbane. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared snippets of the team's intense net practice on X, writing, "Preparations for the Brisbane Test start right now in Adelaide."
In order to recuperate and adjust to the conditions at the Gabba, India will travel to Brisbane on Wednesday. The team is hoping to overcome their batting problems and make a great recovery in the crucial third Test as the series is in a precarious position.
