Day 1 of the third Test was heavily affected by rain, with only 13.2 overs bowled in the first session, while the second and third sessions were entirely washed out. Australia ended the day at 28 without loss, with Usman Khawaja (19) and Nathan McSweeney (4) at the crease.
Meanwhile, Shubman returned to the team in the second Test after missing the first due to an injury to his left thumb.

The visitors struggled overall, suffering a crushing 10-wicket defeat. India won the first match in Perth.
