Statistically, Australia did not win a Test series in the 21st century after they failed to win at Gabba. Gabba has been considered an undefeated fortress for Australia. As India managed to secure a draw at Brisbane, predictions have started flowing if the Australians can break the Gabba superstition or not. Speaking about the match at Gabba in the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy, it was all Travis Head and Steve Smith having Mitchell Starc against India. Apart from the rain God, Jasprit Bumrah got little support from the bowling unit except from Akash Deep, who tried his best to restrict the run flow. An unbearable batting flop from the Indian side got consoled by KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, as Bumrah and Akash saved a follow-on on Day 4. Rain has assured a draw, and India, on December 19, has taken the flight for Melbourne. Read also: Ind vs Aus: India departs for Melbourne for the fourth Test But will Gabba effect the Aussies? The Viv Richards-led West Indies defeated Australia in 1988 at Gabba by 9 wickets. West Indies won the series by 3-1 in that 1988-89 tour, having Australia win at Sydney and draw at Adelaide. Since then, it has been Aussies' undefeated pride. They may have suffered draws but not a defeat till 2021. In 2021, the bruised and inexperienced Indian team, led by stand-in captain Ajinkya Rahane, broke the Gabba's arrogance after 32 years. The heroics of Shubhman Gill (91) and Rishabh Pant (89*) broke the Aussie ego and made India seal the series by 2-1. Earlier this year, in January, Shamar Joseph from the West Indies rattled down the Australian batting order and took 7 wickets as the West Indies sealed a comprehensive 8-wicket win against Australia. The series ended in a 1-1 draw. Image Source: Getty Images Let's walk back to the OG Indian era, when in December 2003, Sourav Ganguly hammered 144 runs in the first inning stealing draw in Brisbane. In the 2001-02 tour, New Zealand, a humble scorecard yet a collective performance managed a draw at Gabba. Following that, in 2010-11 Ashes, England's dominance in the second innings with two centuries (110 from captain Andrew Strauss and 135 from Jonathan Trott) and a 235 from the player of the match, Alaistair Cook, made Australians fight hard for a draw. Later, Michael Clarke's 259 managed a draw there for Australia.
