IND vs AUS: Pitch Report
The Gabba pitch is famous for its bounce and consistent pace making it a paradise for batters in the early overs. Fast bowlers will enjoy bowling here especially with the new ball. As the match progresses, the surface usually flattens, this provides batters an opportunity to play their shots freely. There is not much help for the spinners, but they could still be effective if they vary their pace and use the large square boundaries smartly.
The outfield at Gabba remains quick so even the shots that are mistimed can reach the boundary. The venue is high-scoring and fans can expect a great contest with runs flowing as the movement eases.
IND vs AUS: Full Squads
India: Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Shubman Gill (vice-captain), Abhishek Sharma, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Sanju Samson, Jitesh Sharma, Rinku Singh, Harshit Rana, Nitish Reddy, Tilak Varma, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakravarthy
