Team India will win BGT for the third time
The five-match Test series is currently tied at 1-1 as the third Test was drawn due to rain in Brisbane. This time the BGT series has been full of many ups and downs. India performed brilliantly in the first Test, winning by 295 runs at the Optus Stadium, where stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah led the team brilliantly. However, Australia made a spectacular comeback and won the second Test easily by 10 wickets, which was held at the Adelaide Oval.
Jadeja gave a big statement in the press conference
Jadeja said in the press conference, “We are in a good position, even after three matches the series is tied at 1-1. This is going to be interesting. If we win one of the next two matches, we will save the series because we have won here the last two times. This is a good opportunity to improve your performance in Melbourne. Yes, we will think about the last match later, right now our focus is on the Boxing Day Test. This is an important match for us.”
India was struggling in Gaba test
In the third Test in Brisbane, Australia completely dominated the first two days. Batting first, they scored a huge score of 445 runs with the help of centuries from Travis Head and Steve Smith. India, who were struggling with the bat, looked to be in danger of a possible defeat. However, interruptions due to rain and heroic efforts from lower-order players ensured that the match was drawn.
Fourth test will start from 26th December
Now the fourth test is going to start from Boxing Day (26 December). Both teams will try their best to take the lead in this match, which promises to be another exciting match. This match has special significance as it can decide the winner of the series and play a vital role in shaping the path of both the teams in the ICC World Test Championship final.
