    "editor1": "New Delhi: Former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh said the Rohit Sharma-led side will have to play their best cricket in the upcoming third Test at the Gabba to put themselves on the path of winning the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.\n<p>India, who kicked off their trophy defence in style with a 295-run win in Perth, come into the third Test on the back of losing the second game at Adelaide by ten wickets. With the series locked at 1-1, the Gabba Test looms as a make or break one for India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"If we look at this as a series of three matches, India has to win two out of these. Their best chances will be, I think, in Sydney and Melbourne. Anyway, if you play your best cricket at The Gabba and win there, then you will definitely win one match out of Melbourne or Sydney.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"So you should think about that. The equality of the first two Tests shows that both teams have the ability to come back. Australia has come back; now maybe it\u2019s India\u2019s turn to turn the tables,\" said Harbhajan on Star Sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Harbhajan also spoke on the ten-day gap between the first and second Tests playing a factor in halting India\u2019s momentum. \"This series is tough because both teams have had losses. What happened with Australia in Perth, maybe they didn\u2019t expect it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cAnd what happened with India in Adelaide, maybe India also didn\u2019t expect it. Although there was a very long gap in the middle between the two Tests, sometimes such a gap spoils the momentum, and it happened here,\" the former spinner said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Harbhajan also spoke on the ten-day gap between the first and second Tests playing a factor in halting India\u2019s momentum. \"This series is tough because both teams have had losses.
