Even as Australia are in pole position after three days into the third Test against India at the Gabba in Brisbane, weather looks to be their biggest obstacle in taking a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. With 16 more wickets needing to topple India, the hosts know they have their task cut out.
Team India have their task equally cut out as visiting captain Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul will have to bat under gloomy conditions. Nevertheless, the tourists will likely be glad if they can escape the Gabba Test with a draw, given it will keep their World Test Championship final chances alive.
