Gautam Gambhir: Even after losing the series against New Zealand, the ego of Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir is not showing any sign of decreasing. He can once again make many changes in the playing eleven for the third Test match to be held in Mumbai. In which he can show his anger against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Dhoni (MS Dhoni) and throw them out of the team.
Let us tell you, the playing eleven for the third test can be announced soon. In which many changes can be seen. Players who are being talked about being dropped from the team. The names of Akashdeep, Ravindra Jadeja can be included in that. Akashdeep's performance in the last match was average due to which he can be dropped from the team.
Ravindra Jadeja has been one of India's biggest match winners in the last few years. The pair of him and Ashwin has helped Team India win many matches. Jadeja's performance in the last match was also fine but since he is playing for Dhoni's team, the decision to drop him after a bad match can be taken seriously.
Let us tell you that while batting in the second test match, Jadeja had scored 38 runs in the first innings and 42 runs in the second innings. Jadeja was the top scorer in the first innings while he was second in terms of runs in the second innings. With bowling, he took 3 wickets in the entire match. Due to which the New Zealand team was able to score only 255 runs in the second innings. But still the team management can give a chance to Axar Patel in place of Ravindra Jadeja.
Probable playing eleven for Mumbai test-
Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Siraj.
