Indian skipper Rohit Sharma had won the toss and decided to bowl first for the third Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in Brisbane, on December 14. Rohit Sharma made two changes to the playing XI.
Harshit Rana and Ravichandran Ashwin have been put to rest for the match, as Akash Deep and Ravindra Jadeja come in form of their replacement. Both Akash and Jadeja are playing their first Test of this tour of Australia.
“We’re going to bowl first. Little bit overcast and little bit of grass, looks a bit soft as well, want to make best use of the conditions,” Rohit said after winning the toss.
“It’s absolutely buzzing, the guys are looking forward to the match, we’re looking forward to coming out here and playing. Looks a little soft at this point in time, conditions bit overcast as well, it will get better to bat as it goes on. We’ve made two changes, Jadeja and Akash back in place of Ashwin and Harshit,” he added.
It's Rohit Sharma who has won the toss & opted to bowl first at the Gabba!
