Team India and Australia will head into the third Test of the four-match series at Holkar Stadium in Indore after a lengthy break. Both sides enjoyed a nine-day rest after the second Test in Delhi, which India won by six wickets to gets a 2-0 lead in the series and retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as well. India got bowled out for just 109 on Day 1 and Australia have managed to eke out a 47-run lead with six wickets remaining at stumps on Day 1. Can India restrict the remaining Aussie batters to a reasonable first-innings lead on Day 2?
Now a win for India in the third Test, which gets underway on today (March 1), will secure a berth in the World Test Championships (WTC) Final for Rohit Sharma’s side for the second successive time. The third Test was originally supposed to take place in Dharamshala but was shifted to Indore as the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) couldn’t get the stadium ready in time.
The beleaguered Aussies will miss the services of their regular Test skipper Pat Cummins, who has returned to Sydney to be with his ailing mother. Former captain Steve Smith will be leading the side for the third Test in Indore. Rohit also has a lot on his platter and will need to decide whether he wants to stick with KL Rahul as opener or bring in Shubman Gill at the top.

Live Score India vs Australia, 3rd Test Ravi Shastri on KL Rahul
"If the vice-captain doesn't perform, someone can take his place; at least the tag is not there. I'm being blunt and brutal, I never like vice-captain in home conditions. Overseas, it's different. The team management will decide (the vice-captain). They know his (Rahul's) form, they know his mental state. They know how they should be watching someone like Shubman Gill. I, for one, always had the belief (to) never appoint a vice-captain for India. I would rather go with my best XI, and if the captain has to leave the field, you'd zero in on a player that can take over at the time, simply because you don't need to create complications," Shastri said on the ICC Review Podcast show.

Live Score India vs Australia, 3rd Test How Can Team India Qualify For ICC World Test Championship Final?
India's victory against Australia in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship series has put them in a favourable position to qualify for the final. The top two teams of the points table will make it to the summit clash, and India's current points percentage of 64.06 puts them in a good spot. If India wins the series 2-0, they will qualify for the final. However, if Australia makes a comeback and prevents India from winning the next two Tests, the visitors will qualify for the final with a points percentage of 63.16. In this scenario, India will have to rely on New Zealand not losing 2-0 against Sri Lanka in their upcoming series. If Sri Lanka does beat New Zealand by that scoreline and India beats Australia 2-0, Sri Lanka will take on Australia in the final.
