Danger of defeat looms over India, Rahul-Jadeja will have to do the work done 20 years ago, then Laxman-Ganguly had shown strength.

New Delhi. The Indian cricket team is in trouble in the third test against Australia. Host Australia scored the first 445 runs in this match being played in Brisbane. After this, India took 5 wickets within 74 runs. Now the Indian team is more than 300 runs behind Australia’s score and only 5 wickets are left. There are still about two days left in the match. In such a situation, India’s chances of victory seem less, but the danger of defeat is definitely looming.

The third Test between India and Australia is being played at Gabba, Brisbane. Now two days are left in the match and more than 190 overs can be played. If India wants to avoid defeat, then first of all it will have to score 246 runs so that the follow-on can be avoided. If the entire game is played in the remaining two days and India has to play follow-on, then the matter may get worse.

IND vs AUS: Players are not happy in the dressing room! Veterans are angry in the commentary box, what is going on in Team India?

India’s hopes are now on openers KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja. Both these batsmen are at the crease. Rahul is unbeaten after scoring 45 runs while Ravindra Jadeja has to open the account. Indian fans are hoping that these two batsmen play long innings and get the team out of trouble. KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja can take inspiration from the partnership of Saurabh Ganguly and VVS Laxman on Tuesday. 20 years ago, when the Indian team was in trouble on the same ground of Gaba, Ganguly and Laxman had made a partnership of 146 runs for the fifth wicket. Then Ganguly had scored a century (144) while Laxman had played an inning of 75 runs. India had then drawn the match.

If KL Rahul scores a century in the Brisbane Test and gets support from Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Reddy at the other end, then India will avoid the follow-on. If this happens, Australia will have to come out to bat again. If this happens, Australia can win only if it gives target to India. In the year 2021, India has achieved the target of 328 runs on this ground. In such a situation, it will not be easy for Australia to target India.
