IND vs AUS 3rd Test: Match Preview:

Trending

India have already retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 after dominating Australia in the first two Tests, winning both matches within 3 days each. Rohit Sharma has been the top scorer for team India with the bat, scoring 183 runs in 2 matches. Interstingly, left-handed all-rounder Axar Patel has been the second-highest run-scorer in the series with 158 runs in 2 matches. Jadeja has contributed with 96 runs while Virat Kohli & KL Rahul have maintained their bad run. 

Ravindra Jadeja has also been the top wicket-taker with 17 wickets to his name in 2 matches, followed by Ravichandran Ashwin with 14 wickets to his name. While Jadeja has 2 5-wicket hauls, Ashwin has also registered a 5-wicket haul. Mohammad Shami has picked up 7 wickets in 2 matches while Axar Patel hasn't been given much opportunity to bowl. 

Australian batters have seemed clueless against the Indian bowlers in away conditions. While Usman Khawaja stepped up with 81 runs in the 2nd Test, Peter Handscomb scored a fifty and no other Aussie batter has been able to cross the 50-run mark in an inning in this series. 

Bowling has been similar to the visitors' batting. While Todd Murphy picked up 7 wickets for 124 runs in the first Test, Nathan Lyon stepped up with a 5-fer in the 2nd Test. Matthew Kuhnemann managed just 2 wickets on his debut, while the other bowlers have returned fruitless.
