Currently, the Indian team is playing a 4-match Test series at home. The hosts India have taken a 2-0 lead in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by winning their first 2 matches.

In fact, in the first two matches, India soundly defeated the mighty Australia. In both the matches, the dominance of the spinners and bowlers was seen. However, the Indian batsmen could not bat well.

Opener Lokesh Rahul has been criticized for his poor form. Former Indian player Venkatesh Prasad and commentator Aakash Chopra have had a dispute over Rahul's form. Therefore, special attention will be paid to Rahul's innings in the upcoming third match.

Before this third Test match, Lokesh Rahul along with his wife Athiya Shetty visited the Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh.

In fact, Bollywood actress Athiya Shetty and Indian cricketer Lokesh Rahul visited the Mahakaleshwar temple for the first time after their marriage.

The Indian opener joined the Bhasma Aarti of Baba Mahakal Ujjain at 4 am. Along with this, both of them worshiped Baba Mahakal and took blessings.

Apart from these two VIPs, there was a huge crowd of devotees in the temple on Sunday. The doors of the temple were opened at 4 am during Bhasma Aarti.

Lokesh Rahul is currently facing a poor run of form. Lokesh Rahul averages 15.90 since his last Test century, making it challenging for the team management to support him. The Indian team will play the third Test match at Indore from March 1.

Talking about Australia, they seem to be under a lot of pressure as they have to address a lot of problems before the upcoming third Test. Australia have lost many key players like Josh Hazlewood and David Warner due to injuries and also captain Pat Cummins due to personal reasons. All the players have flown back to Australia and will be out for the rest of the series.
