Rain disrupted play on the opening day of the third Test between India and Australia at the Gabba. The weather forced an early stumping. Following multiple interruptions marking the morning session. While the second session was entirely washed out.

Play lasted only 13.2 overs, with Australia reaching 28/0 before an early lunch was taken. Rain halted proceedings twice during the brief spell—first after 5.3 overs and later after 13.2 overs. The post-lunch session faced delays, leaving the match in a precarious state.

India, led by Rohit Sharma, faces a must-win situation in this do-or-die clash to stay in contention for a spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) final. After a crushing 10-wicket loss in Adelaide, the team is desperate to bounce back. However, persistent rain, forecasted to continue throughout the match, threatens to disrupt play and impact the outcome.
