India's arrival in Brisbane has been far from smooth. The Indian cricket team upon arrival learnt that it was lodged at a hotel which "lacked basic facilities", prompting an intervention from the BCCI top brass.

On Wednesday, coach Ravi Shastri, who was keeping a tab on the proceedings, addressed the team huddle. The likes of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, skipper Ajinkya Rahane and others were seen in their training kits.

"After an epic fightback in Sydney, it is time to regroup. We have begun our preparations for the final Test at the Gabba! #TeamIndia #AUSvIND," BCCI captioned the photos.

Chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav was seen bowling at the nets and there is a chance that he could be picked for the match.
