According to the report, captain Rohit Sharma has taken a big decision for the Gaba test. They are going to drop two players playing in the second test.

Ashwin-Harshit's cards will be cut

Team India wants to take the lead in the series by winning once again in Brisbane. For this, Rohit Sharma wants to play the right team combination. Therefore he is going to make changes in the playing XI. According to the report of Indian Express, veteran spinners R Ashwin and Harshit Rana will be dropped from the team.
