The Indian team had to face defeat in the second Test played between Australia and India in Adelaide. But forgetting the past, now Team India's focus is on the third match of Border Gavaskar Trophy which will be played at Gabba, Brisbane from 14th December. On this ground, the record of India's wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant and fast bowler Mohammad Siraj is even better than that of veteran batsman Virat Kohli. Both of them have performed better than Kohli in the Gaba ground.

Pant can become the Indian who scores the most runs in Gabba

The Indian record for scoring the most runs on the Gabba ground is in the name of Motaganahalli Lakshminarasu Jayasimha. He has scored 175 runs while playing a test on this ground. Whereas Rishabh Pant has so far scored 112 runs after one match on this ground. He is 64 runs away from breaking Jaisimha's record. Let us tell you that in the year 2021, when Team India defeated Australia for the first time on this ground, Rishabh had made a big contribution. He had scored 23 runs in the first innings. Whereas in the second innings, when Team India was chasing the target of 328 runs, he scored unbeaten 89 runs with his bat.

Mohammed Siraj can become the Indian taking the most wickets

Mohammad Siraj also played an important role in Team India's victory in the Gabba Test in 2021. Siraj took 1 wicket in the first innings and 5 wickets in the second innings. He has taken 6 wickets in one match on this ground. The Indian record for taking most wickets in Tests at this ground is held in the name of Erapalli Prasanna. He has taken eight wickets in 2 matches. Siraj has a great chance to become number 1 in this matter. They need three more wickets.

Virat Kohli has been lagging in Gabba

Team India's superstar Virat Kohli's bat has remained silent on the Gaba ground. Till now he has played only one test match in Gabba in the year 2014.
