The third Test of the BGT 2024-25 series between India and Australia ended in a draw after a persistent rain interruption on Day 5 at the Gabba, Brisbane. As a result, the five-match series remained level at 1-1, with two games to go.
India began the final day at 252/9 and added eight runs before getting all-out in the 79th over of their first innings. Australia's batting line-up collapsed in the second innings as their batters tried to score quickly to set a target for the opposition team.
Jasprit Bumrah and Co. reduced the hosts to 89/7 before Pat Cummins declared the innings, setting India a target of 275 runs in the final innings. KL Rahul (4) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (4) then took the visitors to 8/0 in 2.1 overs before the umpires halted the play for the final time in the Test due to inclement weather conditions.

"The weather did not allow us to go too deep" - Australia's Travis Head after 3rd BGT 2024-25 Test vs India ends in draw
At the post-match presentation, Australian batter Travis Head received the Player of the Match award for his brilliant century. Reflecting on his performance and the Test match, Head said:
"I felt I was batting quite well. Unfortunately, the weather did not allow us to go too deep. This was a challenging wicket, pleased to go through the wickets. Yes, the effort is always trying to assess the conditions to either push away with the scoring or either holding one end up."
He continued:
"Pretty relaxed conversation with Steve as we both thought that we were back in the rhythm and he gives me the freedom to go about things my way because it gives me the confidence that he will be there for a long time. Our match awareness helps."
On his fitness and availability for the next Test, Head said:
"The groin injury is fine, things were a bit niggling for the last couple of weeks but I should be fine."
The two teams will now travel to Melbourne for the Boxing Day Test, which commences on Thursday (December 26) at the MCG.
