IND vs AUS 3rd Test Timings: With the Border-Gavaskar Trophy evenly poised at 1-1 after the opening two Tests, India and Australia will continue to battle for a World Test Championship final spot when they clash at The Gabba in Brisbane.

After stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah inspired Team India to a winning start to the series in Perth, home side captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head starred to help Australia rebound and level the series in Adelaide.

The first two Tests started at a good time for fans in India, but the remaining matches in the BGT Down Under call for early alarms for fanatics in the Asian Sub-Continent. However, the sport's pure format increases the interest among the spectators whether viewing on TV or from the venue or at any time of the day.

Plus, a quick bouncy track could be on offer providing good assistance to both teams which possess some of the top pacers in World Cricket right now. Australia will be spearheaded by Mitchell Starc, while India will be led by Jasprit Bumrah.

Mohammed Siraj, Josh Hazlewood and Cummins will also play a huge role at the Gabba, where India's hero from the last visit, Rishabh Pant also will be in action. There will be no shortage of entertainment although it's a red ball contest amid the modern day world of T20 cricket.
