India vs Australia 4th Test: Rain likely to affect proceedings in series decider

Ajinkya Rahane & co. will look to retain the Border-Gavaskar trophy when they take on Australia for the fourth Test in Brisbane. The hosts have an impeccable record at the venue and with the Indian contingent fighting injuries, Tim Paine and his boys will definitely have an upper hand going into the contest. 

However, the outcome of the contest will also depend on a lot of external factors and considering the weather reports, rain could hinder the proceedings on all the five days.
