It is said that pictures speak. Now if this is so, then understand that the playing eleven of Team India for the third Test to be played in Brisbane is almost final. You might be wondering why we are saying this? On the basis of which picture are you saying this? Speculations regarding Team India's playing eleven for the Gabba Test have actually started due to a picture shared by Washington Sundar. If the picture shared by him is an indication, then know that India's playing eleven is final.
Now the question is, what kind of picture has Indian spin all-rounder Sundar presented to the world? The picture we are talking about, he has posted on his X handle along with 3 more pictures.
That picture is of a diary page, on which it is written – 14 December 2024, Brisbane. Sundar has written the caption of this post in a single word – Gaba.Gabba.

It is possible that the picture shared by Washington Sundar is an indication of his inclusion in the playing eleven of Team India for the Gabba Test. Sundar can be given a chance in place of Ashwin in the Indian team. The Indian team management might be thinking of doing this because his role was decisive in India's victory in the last Test played here. By scoring 84 runs in 2 innings, he was the second highest run scorer after Pant and Gill.
As far as the rest of the players of the team are concerned, given the nature of the Gabba pitch, there is little scope for any change in it. Meaning, the chances of any change in batting and fast bowling are less. The same players who were seen playing in Adelaide will be seen playing there.
Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Nitish Reddy, Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Harshit Rana.
