The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is currently at its exciting point. India and Australia are tied in the series after winning one match each. Both the teams have already reached Brisbane for the third match. This Gaba ground in Brisbane has been the stronghold of the Australian team. In 2021, they faced their only defeat against India on this ground after 33 years.
Before the AUS vs IND third test, which will be played at Brisbane Cricket Stadium from 14 to 18 December, it would be interesting to know the results from every AUS vs IND test match played at Brisbane Ground.
India's record in Brisbane has not been special
India played its first Test at Brisbane Stadium in 1947 and the team was last seen playing in white jersey on this ground in 2021. During this period, the Indian team has faced Australia in a total of 7 test matches and has won only once.
Australia have defeated India in Brisbane 5 times, while 1 match has been a draw.

What happened when India last played a Test match in Brisbane?
The last time India toured the Gabba, they broke Australia's 32-year undefeated winning streak at the venue, which was considered the Australian fortress. In that famous victory, India fielded a relatively young and inexperienced team in the absence of their key players, however, they won in dramatic circumstances. This was the host team's first defeat at this ground since 1988.
