Australia gave a big relief to Team India for the Gabba Test, and Virat's work became easier!

In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India and Australia are tied in the series with a 1-1 win. Now it is the turn of the third Test, which will be played at the Gabba ground in Brisbane. This match will start on Saturday, December 14. But a day before this, Australia has given a big relief to Team India. With a decision by captain Pat Cummins, Virat Kohli's work also seems to be getting easier. But what did Australia do last, which is going to benefit India in Gabba? Let's find out.

Relief to Team India

Australia has dropped Scott Boland from the third Test to be held at Gabba. Josh Hazlewood has once again made an entry. He could not play in the second Test to be held in Adelaide due to injury. Scott Boland played in his place and took 5 wickets. He took many important wickets like Virat Kohli. This is the reason why both the Indian team and Virat will be happy.

Boland is such a bowler whose performance against India has been excellent. He has played 3 matches against Team India and in all three his bowling caused a lot of damage to India. During this, he took 10 wickets at an average of 24.40. So far, he has troubled India the most in the final of the World Test Championship and the Pink Ball Test held in Adelaide.

Virat's 'fear' is over.

Boland is considered the biggest threat to Virat. Kohli has faced him twice in Tests. Both times, Boland overpowered him and hunted him down. Kohli has been able to score just 24 runs against him at an average of just 12. This means that his absence will make Kohli's job easier at Gabba. A big innings can be expected from him. Because Kohli's performance against the rest of Australia's bowlers has been excellent.

Among the pace attack of Australia in the third Test, Virat Kohli likes to bat against Mitchell Starc the most. In the last 12 years, Kohli has batted at an average of 51 against Starc and has been out only 5 times. On the other hand, Virat's average against Hazelwood, who participated in this match, has been 43. In the last 10 years, Kohli has been out to him only 4 times. However, Cummins can definitely prove to be a bit of a threat, as he has an average of only 23.2 against him and has been out 5 times.
