Australia has announced its playing eleven for the Pink Ball Test to be played in Adelaide. Now the question is, with which combination will Team India field? After the return of Rohit Sharma, a change in captaincy is certain. But, apart from this, what is the team management thinking? It is expected that 3 players may be dropped from the playing eleven in the Perth Test. There is also a possibility that Ashwin may also be seen making a comeback in the playing eleven.

Why can Ashwin make a comeback?

Ashwin's comeback seems to be sealed because he had a good performance in the last pink ball test played in Adelaide. He was India's most successful bowler by dismissing 5 Australian batsmen in that match. Not only this, he has played a total of 3 Tests in Adelaide, in which he has taken 16 wickets. Apart from this, there are many indications from the latest pictures of practice from Adelaide's nets, which strengthen Ashwin's claim of playing. He first batted and then bowled for a long time with Nitish Kumar Reddy in the nets.

Gill and Rohit's return confirmed

There is news of Shubman Gill being fit. In such a situation, like captain Rohit Sharma, he is also sure to return to the playing eleven for the second test. Gill was out of the first Test played in Perth due to a finger injury. Now the question is that when it comes to the return of these players, who will be out of the team? It is believed that three players who were part of the Perth Test may be dropped from the playing eleven of the Pink Ball Test.

These 3 players can be dropped

Among the players who can be dropped from the playing eleven of Team India in Adelaide, the names of Devdutt Padikkal, Dhruv Jurail and Washington Sundar can be there. The reason for their exclusion is simple that the seniors of the team are ready to return to Adelaide due to their form and fitness.

This could be India's playing XI

Let us now take a look at the possible playing eleven of the Adelaide Test. These will be those 11 Indians who can be seen taking on Australia with the pink ball.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Rohit Sharma, Ashwin, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

Rohit cleared his batting position

Before entering the Pink Ball Test, a big question in front of Team India was regarding the batting position of the opening pair and Rohit Sharma. But, captain Rohit has answered this question in the press conference held before the match. He said that Rahul will open with Yashasvi and he himself will play in the middle order.
