The IND vs AUS series is currently locked at 1-1 and the winner of the upcoming Test will be assured of at least not losing the series anymore. After India won the first Test and Australia won the second Test, the third Test at the Gabba ended in a draw.

Rain played spoilsport on all the days of the Test and eventually forced the umpires to call off the game early.

In the first innings, centuries from Steve Smith and Travis Head propelled the hosts to a big total of 445 runs. In reply, India's batters once again failed to impress after their poor show in the second Test as the hosts were bowled out for 260 runs.

With a 185-run lead in the bag, Australia declared their second innings on 89/7. In reply, India were on 8/0 when the game was called off. Ahead of the fourth Test, here are all the predictions for the game.
