As rain halts Brisbane Test, KL Rahul shares snacks with Virat Kohli
Rain severely disrupted Day 1 of the third Test between India and Australia at the Gabba, Brisbane, with only 13.2 overs played before play was called off on December 14. India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first, hoping to make the most of the overcast conditions. The Australian openers, Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney, managed to score 28 runs without losing a wicket.
During the rain delays, a lighthearted moment between KL Rahul and ViratKohli went viral on social media, as Rahul offered his snacks to Kohli, providing a rare cheerful highlight amidst the weather disruptions. The incessant rain kept both teams confined to their dugouts, with little action on the field.
With the series tied at 1-1, this Test is crucial for both teams. India entered the match following a commanding victory in Perth but suffered a heavy defeat in Adelaide. The washout on Day 1 adds pressure for the remaining days, forcing teams to reassess strategies. Play will begin earlier on subsequent days to compensate for lost time, but forecasts predict more rain, raising concerns about further interruptions. As Day 2 approaches, fans hope for clearer skies and uninterrupted cricket.
