India attained a miraculous victory at Gabba in 2021, there as well India batted in the 4th innings and on the 5th day ended Australia's pride at the ground. Will India repeat the heroics?

In 2014 in his first match as captain Virat Kohli showcased prime form against Australia. At Adelaide India were on course to chase down a target of 363 runs and Virat Kohli had laid the foundation, he along with Murali Vijay had built a big partnership but a sudden collapse left short by 48 runs. Will this be the day when Virat Kohli will get the revenge of that defeat. 

On Day 4, Controversy erupted over the dismissal of Shubman Gill. What do you think was it a clean catch by Cameron Green?

If Virat Kohli gets going today, then he could finish the job that he could not at Adelaide in 2014. Will it be the day when King Kohli play one of his great innings? All to look forward to.
