New Delhi: In the Adelaide Test, the Australian team defeated the Indian team by 10 wickets and levelled the series 1-1. The way Team India won in Perth and defeated the Aussies by 295 runs, Team India’s batting order flopped in Adelaide. In Adelaide, be it KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma, no one’s bat worked and India had to face this defeat.
Now the third Test match is to be played from December 14. It is very important for Team India to win the Gabba Test match. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma will have to make 3 big changes in the playing-11. Let’s know about the 3 changes.
IND Vs AUS Test: Team India will want to win the Gabba Test match with 3 changes:
1. Ravindra Jadeja gets a chance in place of Ashwin in India’s playing 11:
Indian spinners did not get much advantage on the Adelaide pitch. In the second Test match, R Ashwin took only one wicket in both the innings, which was of Mitchell Marsh. At the same time, Ashwin scored 29 runs with the bat. Ashwin has not been seen in good form with the ball since the New Zealand series. Ashwin took 9 wickets in three matches in the New Zealand Test series.
The team management may now give Ravindra Jadeja a chance in the playing-11 in the Gaba Test, who took a total of 16 wickets in the Test series played in New Zealand. Jadeja is seen making important contributions to the team at number 7 with the bat. Looking at his old records, he may get a chance in India’s playing 11 in the Gaba Test.
2. Akashdeep gets a chance to playing-11 in place of Harshit Rana:
Harshit Rana has got a chance in India’s playing 11 in both the matches played on the Australian tour. While making his debut in Perth, Harshit impressed everyone with his game, but in Adelaide he was seen bowling very poorly. There was a lack of control in his bowling and due to this the entire pressure came on Jasprit Bumrah. In such a situation, Akashdeep can get a chance in the Indian playing-11 in the Gaba Test match.
3. Prasidh Krishna gets chance in place of Harshit Rana:
Prasidh Krishna may get a chance in the Indian team’s playing-11 for the Gabba Test. The pitch of Gabba has proved to be helpful for the bowlers. In such a situation, Krishna’s inclusion in the playing-11 can benefit India. In the India A vs Australia A unofficial Test match, Prasidh took 10 wickets and played an important innings of 43 runs with the bat. The pacer played his last Test match against South Africa this year and is expected to get a chance in place of out-of-form Harshit Rana.
