KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc Frustrated by Fifth Rain Delay in Brisbane Test: KL Rahul and Mitchell Starc showed frustration after the fifth rain interruption on Day 3 of the Brisbane Test on December 16.
The repeated delays halted play, disrupting the game’s rhythm and compounding India’s woes after their top-order collapse. Following Day 1’s early abandonment due to rain, Australia seized the opportunity on Day 2 and in the morning session of Day 3, posting a commanding 445, with contributions from Travis Head (152) and Steve Smith (101).

India’s batting struggles deepened with Starc dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill early, while Virat Kohli fell cheaply for three runs. Rishabh Pant, India’s former Gabba hero, managed only nine before being dismissed by Pat Cummins, who has now dismissed him three times in the series.
The rain interruptions frustrated both teams, breaking the momentum and leaving players, including Rahul and Starc, desperate for consistent play.
