IND vs AUS 4th Test: The fourth match of the Test series between India and Australia will be played at Melbourne ground from December 26. Currently the series is tied at 1-1, whichever team wins the match will gain a lead in the series.
The Indian team won the first match by 295 runs. After this, the Australian team made a comeback and won the second Test by 10 wickets. The third match was washed out due to rain and the Test match was drawn. Now the series has reached the historic ground of Melbourne and the fourth match will be played from December 26. Star Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has retired and the BCCI has chosen Tanush Kotian in his place. After this upheaval, it will be interesting to see what will be the playing XI of Team India in the fourth Test match.
Shubman Gill has so far failed to play a big innings on the Australia tour and is struggling with poor form. He has played innings of 30, 28 and 1 run so far. But the team management can give him another chance and he can be seen playing at number three. Superstar batsman Virat Kohli seems almost certain to come at number four. Once he settles at the crease, it becomes difficult to dismiss him. The responsibility of wicketkeeper can be given to Rishabh Pant. Captain Rohit Sharma can come at number-6.
Jasprit Bumrah can be seen handling the responsibility of the fast bowling attack. He is in great form and has bowled brilliantly in the series. In the first Test, he led India to victory by taking 8 wickets. In the third Test, he took a total of 9 wickets. Indian cricket fans will once again expect a good performance from him. To support him, Prasidh Krishna can get a chance in the team in place of Mohammad Siraj. Because Siraj has not been able to perform as per his name. At the same time, Akash Deep had performed brilliantly in the third match. In such a situation, he can get another chance. Nitish Reddy and Ravindra Jadeja can be given the role of all-rounder.
Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Prasidh Krishna, Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep.
