On December 14, during day 1 of the third Test, at The Gabba, Brisbane, more than 1000 fans were seen wearing masks of Rishabh Pant. Fans from both countries wore those masks while the Bharat Army registered fans (a traveling fan group of the Indian Cricket team) were beating drums as they normally do.

When Akash Deep came to bowl his second over, rain came for the second time and did not stop.

India made two changes in the team. They got Ravindra Jadeja back in the squad in place of Ravichandran Ashwin and have dropped Harshit Rana, having Akash Deep in the team. Rishabh Pant in Gabba Rishabh Pant has a good memory in Australia, be it friendly banter with the former captain Tim Paine in the 2018-19 tour or breaching the Gabba fortress after 36 years, sealing the series victory for the second time in Australia. When the target of more than 300 looked impossible to many critics, including Indians, it was Shubman Gill who scored 91 at the top, Chesteswar Pujara who scored a gritty half-century taking 11 blows on the body, and Rishabh Pant scoring 89, winning the match for India smashing a boundary towards the mid-off, finally winning the man-of-the-match award.
