Brisbane has witnessed every possible weather mood imaginable. From KL Rahul trudging in and out of the pavilion all day, his 1.25 kg bat seemingly heavier with every departure, to an irate Mitchell Starc casting desperate glances toward the rain gods, pleading for mercy, it has been a Test match full of dramatic turns.

The weather, however, hasn’t been the only villain here. While the rain gods, in their fickle manner, occasionally blessed the Gabba with glimpses of sunshine, the Indian batting order was far less generous in offering any signs of hope or joy.
