Why India should be careful about a pre-Christmas Gabba Test

Australian cricketers favor early-season Gabba Tests due to the venue's historical success rate before Christmas.

Post-Christmas, the Gabba has seen more Australian losses in recent years, challenging its fortress reputation. This factor influences scheduling preferences for optimal playing conditions.
