In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India and Australia are tied in the series with 1-1 win. Now it is the turn of the third Test, which will be played at the Gabba ground in Brisbane. This match will start from Saturday 14th December. But a day before this, Australia has given a big relief to Team India. Virat Kohli's job also seems to be getting easier due to a decision taken by captain Pat Cummins. But what was the last thing Australia did that is going to benefit India at Gabba? Let us know.

Relief to Team India

Australia has dropped Scott Boland from the third Test to be held at Gabba.

Josh Hazlewood has once again entered. He could not play in the second Test to be held in Adelaide due to injury. Scott Bolland played in his place and took 5 wickets. He had taken many important wickets like many important wickets of Virat Kohli. This is the reason due to which both the Indian team and Virat will be happy.

Boland is such a bowler whose performance against India has been very excellent. He has played 3 matches against Team India and in all three his bowling caused a lot of damage to India. During this period he took 10 wickets at an average of 24.40.

Till now, he has troubled India the most in the final of the World Test Championship and the Pink Ball Test held in Adelaide.

Virat's 'fear' is over

Boland is considered the biggest threat to Virat. Kohli has faced him twice in Tests. Both times Boland overpowered them and hunted them down. Kohli has been able to score only 24 runs against him at an average of just 12. This means that with his absence, Kohli's work will become easier in Gabba. A big innings can be expected from him. Because Kohli's performance against the rest of Australia's bowlers has been excellent.

In the pace attack of Australia in the third test, Virat Kohli likes to bat against Mitchell Starc the most.

In the last 12 years, Kohli has batted at an average of 51 against Starc and has been out only 5 times. Whereas against Hazlewood who participated in this match, Virat's average was 43. In the last 10 years, Kohli was out only 4 times. However, Cummins can definitely prove to be a bit of a threat, because he has an average of only 23.2 against him and has been out 5 times.
