Australia Crush India's Hopes as Rain Wreaks Havoc on Day 3

India's hopes of turning their fortunes around in the third Test against Australia were severely dampened on day three as rain played spoilsport, decimating much of the action at the Brisbane Cricket Ground.

Despite the rain-soaked day, Australia's seamers continued to dictate terms, keeping their team firmly in the driver's seat. With the Indians struggling to get a foothold in the game, the Australian bowlers took full advantage of the conditions, making the most of the little play that was possible.

At the end of the second day, India found themselves on the back foot, and the rain on day three only served to exacerbate their woes. With more than half the day's play lost, India's chances of making a comeback appear increasingly slim.

The Indian batsmen, already under pressure, had a daunting task ahead of them, with the Australian bowlers displaying their prowess with the ball. The visitors' fragile batting lineup was once again exposed, and it only seemed a matter of time before the Australians struck.

However, the constant interruptions due to rain did provide some respite for the Indians, who were able to regroup and reassess their strategy. Despite this, the loss of valuable playing time seemed to negate any potential gains they might have made during the short breaks.
