IND vs AUS 3rd Test Day 3 LIVE Score: Kohli also returned to the pavilion, play stopped due to rain
India had a very poor start in reply to Australia’s 445 runs. He lost the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal on the score of 4 and Shubhman Gill on the score of 6 runs. When the team’s score was 22 runs, Virat Kohli also started walking. Due to rain, lunch break was taken on this score. During the break, Sunil Gavaskar and Harbhajan Singh talked about India’s prospects in the match.
Sunil Gavaskar said that there is still a lot left in this match. India should not think about victory right now. India’s first target should be 246 runs so that follow on can be avoided. Although Australia will think 10-15 times before giving follow-on to India, but Team India should not be given a chance to do so.
Questions asked on the strength of batting: Gavaskar also said that he still has full expectations from the Indian team. KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are at the crease. Rohit Sharma can play good shots, whether he opens or plays in the middle order. In such a situation, there is no reason why the team cannot score a good score.
