On Dec 19: India 36 all out
On Jan 19: India win series. 2-1. The Gabba Fortress breached.
This episode is all about the last and final test played at the Gabba in Brisbane.
A fearless India pulled off an improbable and exhilarating three-wicket win over Australia in the fourth Test to claim the series 2-1 and retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Brisbane. This episode features Neha discussing the anticipation surrounding the squad, Will Puckovski’s injury, Labuchagne’s brilliant 100, Natarajan’s performance, Australia’s batting firing, the Indian bowling, Indian batting in their 1st innings and the Aussie attack’s consistency.
Additionally, I deliberated on Australia’s 2nd innings, India’s 2nd innings- review chasing 328, how we were down, beaten and with all our reserves getting used and how this is an inspiring fightback, shoutout to the support staff and our net bowlers, how this series served as a wonderful endorsement for Test cricket, renewing hope that the format has a lot to offer to the younger generation, credits to Kohli, the captain who built this core and how we owe this win to him and finally a look ahead into the World Test Championship (WTC) and the England series.
