Brisbane Test's fate confirmed, to go ahead as planned

After much&nbsp;deliberation, Cricket Australia confirmed on Monday that the 4th and final Test in&nbsp;Brisbane&nbsp;will go ahead as planned. Team India was reluctant to travel to Brisbane earlier as the City went into&nbsp;harder&nbsp;lockdown&nbsp;protocols and BCCI&nbsp;didn't want its players to go into another&nbsp;quarantine. The Indian board had asked&nbsp;for certain guarantees in writing and are now satisfied. Hence, India will travel to Queensland for the final destination of their tour Down Under. Moreover, the 4th Test, which is scheduled to start from January 15, will allow 50% of the crowd capacity.&nbsp;

It's the shot that I play and I have played it very well in the past. So, it's something that I really back myself to do all the time: Rohit

After being criticised for getting out playing a rash shot in the first innings of the Brisbane Test, Rohit&nbsp;Sharma&nbsp;has come out in his defence. India's Test vice captain said that&nbsp;it's the shot that he plays and has played very well in the past. it's something that Rohit really backs myself to do all the time.

Only 54 overs could be bowled on day 2 as India were 62/2 at stumps, still trailing Australia by 307 runs.

Rain played spoil sport on day 2 of the Brisbane Test allowing only 54 overs to be bowled. India was 62/2 at stumps, still trailing Australia by 307 runs. Earlier,&nbsp;Cameron Green and Tim Paine looked threatening and took Australia past 300 quickly. But that's when an inexperienced Indian bowling line-up fought back with 3 quick wickets. Australia went from being 311/5 to being reduced to 315/8. Aussie tail wagged as last 2 wickets put together 54 runs before India finally bowled the hosts out for 369. Shardul Thakur, Washington Sundar and T Natarajan picked 3 wickets each.&nbsp; In reply, Shubman Gill was dismissed cheaply but Rohit Sharma looked solid at the other end. He however, threw away his wicket for 44. Rahane and Pujara were at the crease when the downpour began, forcing early stumps.

Baroda skipper Krunal, who was playing the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy has left the tournament Bio-bubble to be with his family.

Indian all-rounders&nbsp;Hardik&nbsp;Pandya and brother Krunal&nbsp;Pandya's&nbsp;father, Himanshu&nbsp;Pandya&nbsp;passed away due to a cardiac arrest on Saturday. Baroda skipper Krunal, who was playing the Syed&nbsp;Mushtaq&nbsp;Ali Trophy, left the Bio-bubble to be with his family and hence, can't play the domestic T20 tournament anymore. His brother Hardik&nbsp;returned to India last month after completing the limited overs&nbsp;series vs Australia.&nbsp;

Resuming day 2 of the Brisbane Test at 274/5, Cameron Green and Tim Paine looked threatening and took Australia past 300 quickly. But that's when an inexperienced Indian bowling line-up fought back with 3 quick wickets. Australia went from being 311/5 to being reduced to 315/8.

Though Arjun claimed his maiden first-class wicket in his very first over but finished with figures of 1/34 from his 3 overs.

While one Tendulkar&nbsp;finished his first-class career vs Haryana, another started his journey to the limelight against the same side. Arjun&nbsp;Tendulkar&nbsp;made his senior team debut for Mumbai&nbsp;as he played his first game of the Syed&nbsp;Mushtaq&nbsp;Ali Trophy on Friday. Defending a low total of 143, Tendulkar&nbsp;junior claimed his maiden wicket within the first over itself, when he dismissed&nbsp;Chaitanya Bishnoi&nbsp;for 4. But he proved expensive there on and finished with figures of 1/34 from 3 overs&nbsp;as Haryana&nbsp;beat Mumbai&nbsp;by 8 wickets.

An inexperienced Indian bowling line-up impressed on day 1 of the Brisbane Test but Australia still managed to have a slight edge over India.

An inexperienced Indian bowling line-up impressed on day 1 of the Brisbane Test but Australia still ended with their noses slightly ahead at 274/5. Tim Paine's decision to bat first seemed to have backfired as the hosts lost both openers with just 17 runs on the board. Steve Smith too fell for 36 but that's when Marnus Labuschagne dropped anchor. He made India pay for 2 dropped catches and smashed his 5th Test ton. Debutant T Natarajan brought India back into the contest with 2 quick wickets but skipper Paine and Cameron Green made sure there wasn't any further hiccup as the duo scored 61 for the 6th wicket. India would need early inroads on day 2 to have their grip back on Australia.

If India's troubles with a growing number of injuries on the tour weren't enough, Navdeep&nbsp;Saini&nbsp;now joined that list as he was troubled with a groin strain on Day 1 of the Brisbane Test. After bowling a ball short of 8 overs in the morning session, Saini&nbsp;hobbled&nbsp;off after complaining of pain in his groin. Team&nbsp;India are anyway without all their front-line bowlers and an injury to Saini&nbsp;is like a body blow as BCCI confirmed that a team of doctors are monitoring the fast bowler.&nbsp;

A women from Lahore had alleged that Babar had sexually exploited her after making false promises of marriage and even forced her to undergo an abortion.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam&nbsp;has found himself in the middle of a difficult situation. An FIR has been filed against him after an additional session court in Lahore ordered the police to file a case over a sexual harassment complaint. A women from Lahore had alleged that&nbsp;Babar&nbsp;had sexually exploited&nbsp;her after making false promises of marriage and even forced her to undergo an abortion. She had filed a complaint in November 2020.&nbsp;Earlier, another additional sessions judge&nbsp;had ordered Babar and his family not to harass the women, who had alleged that she was getting threat calls to withdraw the case.

T Natarajan's fairy tale continued as he became the first Indian player to make his International debut across all three formats during the same tour.

An injury-hit Team India arrived in Brisbane with their entire bowling line-up different as to what they played in the 1st Test of the series but skipper Ajinkya&nbsp;Rahane&nbsp;quoted it as an opportunity for others. T Natarajan's&nbsp;fairy tale continued as he became&nbsp;the first Indian player to make his International debut across all three formats during the same tour. Apart from him, Washington Sundar too got the Test cap and Shardul&nbsp;Thakur&nbsp;made his return to the whites as Ravichandran&nbsp;Ashwin and&nbsp;Jasprit&nbsp;Bumrah&nbsp;missed out due to injuries. Interestingly, India had never used more then 17 players in an away series but they have played 20 this time around.&nbsp;

Contrary to the trend of announcing Playing XI a day before a Test match, Team India decided to play it safe and deferred naming their troop for the final Test in Brisbane vs Australia. Coach Vikram&nbsp;Rathour&nbsp;confirmed that the team won't be announced as they are monitoring the fitness of many players. Without naming any, Rathour&nbsp;confirmed that the players will be given as much time as possible to get fit before the Test match starts. With the management fighting against time to get the troops ready for one last challenge, Jasprit&nbsp;Bumrah&nbsp;and Ravichandran&nbsp;Ashwin&nbsp;are still in contention to play as the outcome of the match will decide where the Border-Gavaskar&nbsp;trophy goes after this series. Keeping&nbsp;India's poor record in Brisbane in mind, the Team Management will be desperate to field the best possible XI in what could be one of the toughest challenge on this tour which has been nothing short of a roller coaster&nbsp;of emotions.

Sri&nbsp;Lankan&nbsp;health authorities&nbsp;have confirmed that English cricketer Moeen&nbsp;Ali who tested positive for Covid-19 upon landing in Sri&nbsp;Lanka&nbsp;has the 'UK strain' of the virus. Moeen&nbsp;tested positive and was in isolation and has also missed the 1st of the two-Test series in the Emerald Isles. Ali was kept away from the Team to prevent a possible infection to others.&nbsp;The 33-year-old is the first case of the UK strain in Sri&nbsp;Lanka&nbsp;as the authorities&nbsp;worked hard to prevent the spread of the new strain. Flights have not resumed between Sri&nbsp;Lanka&nbsp;and England as of now but the cricketers from the UK flew in on a chartered plane.&nbsp;

After facing a lot of criticism for his questionable conduct in the Sydney Test, Australian Tim Paine confirmed that he is ready for more action against India. Paine said, "The other day I let the moment get to me but that's a very rare thing, a bit of blip on the radar, I would look to play competitive cricket &amp; if there is a banter then I'm always up for that."&nbsp;India at the same time will be with a mental edge after a stunning draw in Sydney but records in Brisbane favour the hosts. India has never won a Test match in Brisbane as the Aussies last lost at the Gabba&nbsp;in 1988. With a depleted side, a win or a draw in Brisbane will mean that India could retain the Border-Gavaskar&nbsp;Trophy.&nbsp;

Keeping the injuries aside, Team India had their practice session in Brisbane as they prepare for the series-deciding 4th Test which starts from Thursday. Shardul&nbsp;

Keeping the injuries aside, Team India had their practice session in Brisbane as they prepare for the series-deciding 4th Test which starts from Thursday. Shardul&nbsp;Thakur was seen getting tips from bowling coach Bharat&nbsp;Arun in the presence of Jasprit&nbsp;Bumrah who might just sit out due to an abdominal strain. Head coach Ravi Shastri&nbsp;was also seen imparting wisdom to the team which saved the 3rd Test in Sydney with a miraculous draw. Ravichandran&nbsp;Ashwin who reported back spasms in Sydney also attended the session in Brisbane.&nbsp;

After much reluctance to travel to Brisbane for the 4th Test of the Border-Gavaskar&nbsp;trophy in Australia, it is learnt that Team India faced a lot of inconvenience at the hotel they are staying in. According to a report in the Times of India, the team was denied basic facilities like room service, a chance to move out of their rooms and also laundry services. After the team raised an alarm to the BCCI, the officials intervened and spoke to their counterparts in Cricket Australia. Normal services have resumed as reported but the team is still not allowed to use the swimming pool in their hotel and has been given a team room for meetings. Due to strict quarantine regulations, Team India was reluctant to travel to Brisbane but some last-minute assurances from the hosts made the BCCI&nbsp;change its mind.&nbsp;

After accusations of scuffing out the batting markers of Rishabh&nbsp;Pant, Steve Smith has been coping criticism for his actions since the draw in Sydney in the 3rd Test. While Smith who has been banned and stripped off his captaincy in the past for ball-tampering has faced a lot of flack, Australian coach Justin Langer&nbsp;lashed out at those who questioned Smith's integrity. Langer&nbsp;said, "I can literally not believe some of the rubbish I&rsquo;ve read about Steve Smith. An absolute load of rubbish."&nbsp;&nbsp;

Returning from his long&nbsp;7-year ban for spot-fixing in the Indian Premier League, S&nbsp;Sreesanth bagged a wicket for Kerala&nbsp;against Puducherry&nbsp;in the Syed&nbsp;Mushtaq&nbsp;Ali Trophy. Playing the T20 championship after he was picked by Kerala, Sreesanth&nbsp;had a pretty decent restart to his career as he finished with figures of 1 for 29 from 4 overs. God is great said Sreesanth&nbsp;after making a successful return to the game as his team also won the match with ease. Sreesanth&nbsp;was banned for life for his alleged involvement in spot-fixing but a BCCI&nbsp;ombudsman ruled in his favour as his life ban was reduced which allowed him to make a comeback to his state side.&nbsp;

The Brisbane Cricket Ground will allow 50% of crowd capacity for India's final Test of the series vs Australia.
