[In Picture] KL Rahul wears frustrated look after yet another rain interruption on Day 3 of BGT 2024-25 3rd Test
The ongoing third Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 Test between Australia and India at The Gabba has been hit by rain on Day 3 as well. After Australia were bowled out early on in the day, there was a rain interruption. However, play resumed soon enough as the Indian openers walked out to bat.
Into the eighth over of the Indian innings, rain poured down again as early Lunch was taken after a stop-start session. As play resumed, there was another break just at the start of the tenth over as it began to drizzle at The Gabba once again.
The rain does not seem to be leaving anyone at peace at The Gabba as there was yet another interruption at the end of the thirteenth over. While play resumed once again, the rain did not stay away for long as there was yet another similar break in play after 14.1 overs.
As the rain seemed to be steady, Tea had to be taken as well. Indian batter KL Rahul was seen frustrated this time with yet another rain interruption. The constant interruptions have not helped the Indian batters one bit on Day 3 of the ongoing Test as they have struggled to get momentum.
Rahul, India's lone bright spot, batting on 30*, was visibly and understandably frustrated with yet another break, as can be seen in the picture below -
Notably, rain washed out play on the opening day of the ongoing Gabba Test as only 13.2 overs of play were possible. The constant rain breaks have left not just the players but everyone involved equally frustrated.
Indian batters continue to struggle in The Gabba Test
The second game in Adelaide was one to forget for the Indian batters as they struggled. However, their struggle continued in the third Test as well. In pursuit of Australia's first-innings total of 445, the visitors are in trouble at 48/4 heading into the tea break.
Yashasvi Jaiswal (4), Shubman Gill (1), Virat Kohli (3), and Rishabh Pant (9) all failed to get to double figures. KL Rahul (30*) has been the lone warrior so far with Rohit Sharma joining him at the crease before another break.
