IND vs AUS 4th Test Match: The Boxing Day Test between India and Australia will be played in Melbourne from December 26. Team India has reached Melbourne with high spirits. Rohit and the company’s avoidance of follow-on in Brisbane is commendable. But Team India’s challenges are not over yet. They will have to win both the remaining matches to reach the final of the World Test Championship.
IND vs AUS Team India’s team could be like this
For this, the team will have to focus on its batting, which was a complete flop on this tour. Barring Virat Kohli‘s century in the first Test and Jaiswal’s innings of 161 runs, the batsmen have disappointed. In the Brisbane Test, everyone except KL Rahul and Jadeja were seen struggling.
In such a situation, the team management and Rohit will have a big challenge in choosing the playing XI in the fourth Test. Although the entire top order of Team India is struggling, the brunt of this may fall on Shubman Gill who is not in rhythm on this tour. Sarfaraz Khan or Dhruv Jurel can replace Gill in the playing XI. Apart from this, Rohit Sharma can also be seen opening in the fourth Test as his performance at number 6 has been quite disappointing.
Harshit Rana can be included in the team
Talking about bowling, Harshit Rana can get a chance once again in place of Mohammad Siraj. The way Ravindra Jadeja has batted in Brisbane, he is sure to play. However, after Ashwin retires, Washington Sundar can return to the playing XI.
IND vs AUS Team India’s probable playing XI
Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Sarfaraz Khan/Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Nitish Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah, Harshit Rana, Akash Deep.
