IND vs AUS: Bad news from Gaba test, veteran player injured, admitted to hospital
IND vs AUS: The threat of follow on is increasing for Team India in the Gaba Test. Australia scored a huge score of 445 runs in its first innings, in response to which the Indian team seems to be struggling.
The dream of taking the lead over Australia seems distant at the moment, and Team India will have to face the challenge of avoiding follow on first.
However, amidst this difficult situation, there has also been a news of relief for Team India. A lethal bowler of the Australian team got injured during the match, due to which he had to leave the field.
This incident may provide some relief to the Indian batsmen and the team may get a chance to remain in the competition.
Now it remains to be seen whether Team India is able to take advantage of this opportunity and strengthen its hold in the match or not.

Australia shocked by Hazlewood’s injury (IND vs AUS)
Australia’s fast bowler Josh Hazlewood, who is considered the backbone of the team’s bowling attack, got injured on the fourth day of the third match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
During India’s innings in the Gabba Test, Hazlewood could only bowl one over before he had to leave the field due to a calf muscle problem.
He was taken to the hospital for a medical scan to ascertain the severity of the injury.
On this, Cricket Australia shared information from its official X handle, saying, “Hazlewood is suffering from a calf problem, and has been scanned to assess the extent of his injury.”
Hazlewood’s injury has not only become a cause of great concern for the Australian team, but it can also be a relief news for India, as he is an important part of the Australian bowling.
Now all eyes are on what the scan report says and whether Hazlewood will be able to play in the further matches or not.
Hazlewood increased Australia’s concern
Josh Hazlewood performed brilliantly in the first match of the series in Perth. He took his team to a strong position by taking 4 wickets in the first innings and 1 wicket in the second innings.
However, after this he could not play in the Adelaide Test due to injury, and Scott Bowland was included in the team in his place.
After recovering from the injury, Hazlewood returned to the Gabba Test, but once again had to leave the field on the fourth day due to a shin (calf) problem. However, Cricket Australia has indicated that his injury is not serious.
Hazlewood’s injury is definitely a matter of concern for the Kangaroo team, but at present his condition is said to be stable.
The Australian team hopes that Hazlewood will soon be fit and return to the field. His bowling experience and skills are extremely important for the team.
