Answer 1

The correct answer is 1988.Key Points

The correct answer is option 4, i.e. 1988, as India became the first team to beat Australia at the Gabba since the West Indies in 1988.
The Indian cricket team's victory at Gabba in 2021 is considered historic as Australia had not lost a Test match at the Gabba since 1988.
The other options given in the question are not correct as Australia had lost Test matches in Brisbane before 1996, 1992, and 1990.
The West Indies team was the last team to beat Australia at the Gabba before India, in the year 1988.
The Indian cricket team's victory at Gabba in 2021 was also significant as they were playing without their regular captain and several key players due to injuries.
Hence, the statement in the question is correct, and India became the only cricket team to defeat Australia in Brisbane since 1988.
