It looks like India cannot win the game as easily as it did with the first two games in Chennai and Hyderabad. Weather seemed to be favoring the weaker team, Australia, who has fewer star players after the suspension of four team members over misconduct. The Third Test between India and Australia has been put off indefinitely by heavy rainfall in Mohali on Thursday.

The toss initially was delayed due to the inclement weather but later when the rain continue to thrash, the match got affected too.

Indian team, which knew the weather signals well, returned to their hotels to wait for the rain to come to a stand still as Aussies enjoyed their cup of tea in the cool climate. The outfield was dampened to the point of being too wet for a game, only hours before the game was supposed to begin.

Super soakers were brought into place on the field to suck in the excess water from the ground and make it fit for a decent game.

Whether the weather favors Australian team or not, whether its going to be tough or easy, India will not settle for a draw with their determination to create history that lasts in this four match rubber.
