India have already conquered Australia’s fortress at the Gabba in 2021 and will aim to replicate that performance in the upcoming India vs Australia 3rd Test. The match is set to begin on December 14 in Brisbane, with Australia boasting an impressive winning percentage at the venue. Can India secure back-to-back victories at this iconic stadium, or will they succumb to Australia’s formidable record on this ground?
The Gabba, widely regarded as the stronghold of the Australian Test team, saw its invincibility shattered by India during the 2020/21 series in a thrilling three-wicket victory. This marked the first time Australia had been defeated at the venue since November 1988, when West Indies triumphed by nine wickets.
Following that historic loss, Australia suffered another defeat at the Gabba, falling to the West Indies by eight runs in January 2024.
