Australia and India cricket match


 

The third Test between Australia and India concluded today at the Gabba in Brisbane, ending in a draw due to persistent rain interruptions. Australia declared their second innings at 89/7, setting India a target of 275 runs. However, only a few overs were possible in India's chase before bad light and rain halted play, leaving the series level at 1-1.

A significant development emerged as India's veteran off-spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin, announced his retirement from international cricket. Ashwin, aged 38, retires as the seventh-highest wicket-taker in Test history, with 537 wickets in 106 matches. His sudden announcement came after the rain-affected third Test at the Gabba ended in a draw.

The series now moves to Melbourne for the fourth Test, scheduled to begin on December 26, 2024. Both teams will be eager to secure a lead in the five-match series, which currently stands evenly poised at 1-1.
