Rain might play a vital function in deciding the end result of the fourth and closing India-Australia Test that begins on the Gabba on Friday.
While the primary day on Friday is anticipated to be brilliant and sunny, the forecast for the second, fourth and fifth days is for rain. But India’s batting coach, Vikram Rathour, appeared unperturbed.
“You don’t play cricket looking at the weather. As far as we are concerned, we are looking for a complete game. We are going to give our best. We are going to put up our best available team on the park and if the boys play to the potential, again we are looking to win this one,” he mentioned.
The Australians, who let slip an opportunity to beat India within the earlier Test on the Sydney Cricket Ground, should be fretting over the prospect of rain because the sequence is tied 1-1.
They wish to win this Test to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy that India wrested from them in 2017 and retained it in Australia in 2018-19, each with 2-1 scoreline.
Interestingly, the fourth and closing Test of the 2018-19 sequence was additionally affected by rain with Day 5 being utterly washed out as India have been denied a doable victory.
