India was 167-6 at lunch Tuesday on the fourth day and still trailing Australia by 278 runs in its first innings in the rain-plagued third cricket test at the Gabba in Brisbane.
Australia scored 445 runs in its first innings after only 13 overs were bowled on the first day Saturday and after there were eight stoppages of play due to rain on the third day Monday. That continued Tuesday morning and rain returned to delay the start of play after lunch.
Ravindra Jadega on 41 was one of the not-out batters. KL Rahul top-scored for India with 84 runs before being caught by Steve Smith off Nathan Lyon's bowling, while Mitchell Starc and captain Pat Cummins have taken two wickets each for Australia.
Australia could be a bowler down for the remainder of the test after Josh Hazlewood suffered calf soreness ahead of the fourth day's play and was only able to send down one over before leaving the field.
Hazlewood, who missed the second Adelaide test due to side soreness, was late entering the field at the start of play and then looked labored when he came into the attack. India won the first test by 295 runs at Perth, while Australia came back to win the second day-night test in Adelaide by 10 wickets.
