Australia vs India: Indias Test Record At The Gabba, Brisbane


India reach the ending point of their nearly two-month long tour of Australia with the fourth and final Test at Brisbane and there’s still a lot to play for. The series is level 1-1, a place in the World Test Championship final is at stake and so is Australia’s record at the venue – they haven’t lost a Test at The Gabba since 1988. India and Australia have played only six Tests at The Gabba since the Indians first toured the country in 1947-48 and barring the 2003 drawn Test all of them have been won by Australia.
