Brisbane: Legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar believes that after winning the Pink Ball Test in Adelaide last week, Australia will go into the third cricket Test against India starting at the Gabba on Saturday with momentum. Australia leveled the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy 1-1 with a 10-wicket win in the day-night Test after losing the first Test in Perth by 295 runs. Gavaskar told Star Sports, "The momentum that the Indian team had gained in Perth was lost during the 10-day break. Now the momentum is with Australia because they have won this Test match.'

The rhythm is with Australia

He said, 'You are playing at Gabba a few days after the Adelaide Test. So the rhythm is now with the Australian team.' Speaking to the same channel, former spinner Harbhajan Singh said that India should try to play their best cricket to register a win at 'Gabba' before moving to more favorable venues like Sydney and Melbourne.

India will have chances to win in Sydney and Melbourne

Harbhajan said, 'I think their (India's) best chances will be in Sydney and Melbourne. Anyway, if you play your best cricket at Gabba and win there, then you will definitely win one match in Melbourne or Sydney.'

Team India has the ability to make a comeback in the series

He said that despite the crushing defeat in Adelaide, India has the ability to make a comeback in the series. He said, 'The draw in the first two Test matches shows that both teams have the ability to make a comeback. Australia has made a comeback, now it is probably India's turn to turn the tables.' Harbhajan, who has taken 711 wickets at the international level, also agreed that India lost momentum due to the long gap between the first and second Tests.
