On the short ball tactics, Australia’s captain Pat Cummins received a flawless response from India’s top batsman, Shubman Gill. Ahead of the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024–25, which would take place at the Gabba in Brisbane, the Indian batsman responded forcefully to the Australian skipper.
A series between India and Australia is typically full of drama, and the press conference before the upcoming Gabba match was no exception. The short ball strategies were effective in defeating.
The Indian hitters, according to Australian captain Pat Cummins.
But only one member of India’s batting core was out to the short ball in the Adelaide Test, the young hitter retorted.
“I don’t think they were successful in using the short-ball tactics (against us) in Australia’s victory over India. Only one batter, excluding the tail-enders, has been hit by the short ball. Accordingly, I have no idea what success he (Cummins) is referring to,” Gill stated at the news conference on Friday, December 13.

The Brisbane Test is a high-stakes BGT match.
The globe watched a classic thriller in 2021, when the two teams last faced off at this location. Under the captaincy of Ajinkya Rahane, an injured Indian team stunned the Australians and won the BGT. Indian cricket fans will always remember the moment they broke through the Gabba fortress, which was arranged by Rishabh Pant’s game-winning, undefeated 89 on the last day of play.
Returning to the current series, the high-stakes BGT is currently even despite the Indian team’s overwhelming dominance of the hosts in Perth and the Australians’ resounding victory in the Day-Night Test in Adelaide. All cricket fans will be anticipating another exciting match in one of the greatest rivalries in international cricket, and they have some happy memories of the Gabba.
