Everyone is eagerly waiting for the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia to be held in Melbourne from 26th December. The Australian team has already announced its playing XI for this important match. At the same time, the names of 11 players playing in the match from Team India have not been revealed yet. But captain Rohit Sharma's new planning has definitely come to light. From the point of view of the WTC final, it is necessary for India to win this match at any cost and for this the Indian captain has made his move. He is going to make many big changes. Let us know.
What major decisions has he taken for the fourth test?Rohit Sharma was not present in the Perth Test. Then the pair of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal batted amazingly. Therefore, when he came back to the team, he did not make any changes in the opening. He himself was seen batting at number 6. But his performance in the last two matches was very poor. He has been able to score only 19 runs in 3 innings at an average of 6.33. Now the pitch in Melbourne may be a little easier for batting. In such a situation, Rohit has decided to return to his original position again.
According to the report of Times of India, he can be seen opening the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal. According to the report, after the new ball it will be easier to score runs on the pitch. If he manages to survive for some time in the beginning, he may return to form. Whereas Rahul, who is opening in place of Rohit, can be sent at number 3 instead of Shubman Gill. However, while opening, Rahul has batted very well in the series so far. He has scored 235 runs at an average of 47, which includes 2 half-centuries. Travis Head (409 runs) is the batsman who scored the most in this series.
Spinners get a lot of help on the Melbourne ground. Their role becomes very important on the fourth and fifth day. After the pitch breaks, they dominate the batsmen. According to the report, considering this, captain Rohit Sharma can field two spinners. Along with Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar may also get a place in the playing XI. To feed Sundar, Nitish Kumar Reddy, who is considered the biggest discovery of this series, can be sacrificed.
