The Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia, starting on December 14 at the Gabba, could face frequent interruptions due to rain, which is predicted for all five days. The five-match series is currently tied at 1-1, with India claiming a dominant 295-run victory in Perth before Australia bounced back with a 10-wicket triumph in the day-night Test in Adelaide.
Significant changes in either playing XI are unlikely. However, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul might switch positions in the lineup, and there is a chance Ravindra Jadeja could be included. Meanwhile, Australia might opt to replace Scott Boland with Josh Hazlewood, provided the latter recovers in time.
