Australia v India: Gill Hopes for Big Score in Brisbane

India's Shubman Gill has stated that the team aims to post a substantial Total in the first innings of the third test against Australia at Brisbane. This goal comes on the heels of their recent loss in Adelaide, where India were outplayed by Australia. But despite the setback, Gill expressed his confidence in India's ability to bounce back in Brisbane, highlighting the team's positive record against Australia in recent times.

Gill's comments came as he reflected on his own performance in the series so far, particularly in the opening test where he struggled to convert his starts into substantial scores. The right-hand batsman attributed his poor form to his brief period as non-striker and the difficulties of playing under lights with the pink ball in the day-night test. These challenges forced him to dip in intensity, leading to his dismissal. As he prepares to return to the Gabba, Gill will look to extract more runs and capitalize on his past success, where he scored a 91 not out in 2021, setting up India's draw against Australia.

The pressure to perform in Australia is immense, particularly at the Gabba where the intimidating crowd and conditions can push even the most seasoned players to their limits. Gill and India will have to summon their mental fitness and resilience to compete against Australia and maintain their intensity throughout the test match. The right-hander expressed his nostalgia and enthusiasm to make new memories at the Gabba, reiterating the team's commitment to succeed in the ongoing test series.

India is likely to make some key changes in their team composition ahead of the Brisbane test, with Andrew Hazlewood returning after clearing a side strain. Meanwhile, pacer Jasprit Bumrah trained on Friday, indicating he will be fit for the match. The stage is set for an exciting conclusion to the series, with India seeking redemption in Brisbane after being outplayed in Adelaide.
