Despite being surrounded by high-rise buildings, extensive hospitals, packed roads with ferns and forest fires, and beautiful cafés, the historic Gabba in Brisbane seems to be a peaceful heaven. Life still lurks under its surface, and now, on Saturday, December 14, might the stomping of speeding boots, the crash of the red cherry falling into seasoned willow, and exuberant cheer prevail over the silence at Gabba here?

The ongoing series of historic Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024–25 showdowns seems to be a turning point. In the thick of a drawn-out struggle in the five-match series, this forthcoming third Test match between Australia and India, slated to commence on December 14, might give a fascinating look at how these two powerhouses will play in the remainder of the series after levelling up a series at 1-1.

The last two encounters at WACA Ground in Perth and Adelaide Oval seemed unstoppable. In the series opening match, India registered a 295-run win, followed by the Aussies' win by ten wickets. However, the spice increased after the incident between India's star pacer Mohammed Siraj and Australia's explosive batter Travis Head, while rivals captain Pat Cummins and Rohit Sharma have gone easy on such matters.

Notably, Rohit Sharma and his men return to the scene after their historic 2021 win at the Gabba. Team India famously breached what was considered as Aussie's fortress, becoming the first-ever nation to win a Test match in Brisbane in 33 years. Team India aims to repeat their historic feat another time in this Test match. On the other hand, Pat Cummins and his men seek redemption for their previous Test loss here.
