KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Rohit Sharma's stump-mic clip went viral
- The series is level 1-1
- Travis Head and Steve Smith scored centuries
India's frustrating bowling performance continued on the third day of play in the Gabba Test as Australia added 40 runs to their overnight score before India took the remaining three wickets while the hosts posted a first innings total of 445 runs following Rohit Sharma's decision to bowl first after winning the toss.
The Indian captain's frustration at the display was evident as apart from Jasprit Bumrah, the bowlers struggled to get wickets while Travis Head and Steve Smith scored tons. During the 114th over of the innings, Rohit appeared to lose his cool at Akash Deep following a wide delivery from the 28-year-old, which landed outside the pitch and required Rishabh Pant to put in a full stretch dive to stop going to the boundary.
'Sarr Main Kuch Hai? (Is there anything in your head)," said Rohit in a viral video captured by the stump-mic.

Akash is playing his first Test match outside India after replacing Harshit Rana in the playing XI. The right-arm pacer bowled a threatening spell but lacked the rub of the green. His only wicket of the innings was the last Australian dismissal as he got the wicket of Alex Carey following a knock of 70 from the wicketkeeper batter. Akash finished with figures of 1-95 in 29.5 overs.
In reply, the Indian batting unit collapsed as Mitchell Starc dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal on the second ball of the innings before getting the wicket of Shubman Gill in his second over.
Virat Kohli's horror run of form with the bat continued after he was dismissed by Josh Hazlewood for three runs. Rishabh Pant failed to have an impact and made just 9 runs before falling prey to Pat Cummins.
The third day of play has seen multiple stoppages due to rain, with the weather forecast for the rest of the match also making for grim reading.
