Men's international cricket will return to the Carrara Oval ground on the Gold Coast on Thursday 6th November and the Indian cricket team will play on this ground for the first time. This ground and the conditions here will be a new experience for Team India. In such a situation, it will not be easy for him to overcome Australia. But will Team India take some decisions after learning from the experience it has gained in the last 3 matches or rather the last 2 months? We are talking about Team India's vice-captain Shubhman Gill, who has been continuously failing in this format for the last 2 months and due to which other batsmen are also suffering the consequences.
India and Australia will clash for the fourth time in the current T20 series on Thursday. After the last 3 matches, this series is tied at 1-1 and whichever team wins this match, it will at least not lose the series. Also he will have a good chance to win the series. Australia has not defeated Team India in the T20 series at home till date. In such a situation, it has a good chance to take the lead here, while Team India has to protect its record.
But this record of Team India will remain safe only when all its players perform strongly. Especially Abhishek Sharma, who is continuously batting brilliantly in the top order, will need good support from his opening partner. Shubman Gill has failed so far in this series. Only 57 runs have come from his bat in 3 matches of the series. At the same time, he has not been able to cross the 50 mark even once in 10 consecutive T20 innings since the Asia Cup. In such a situation, it is proving difficult for Gill and Team India.
Such performance of Gill is also a cause for concern because to get him a place in the playing-11, coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Suryukmar Yadav changed the places of other players. Sanju Samson was first removed from the opening and shifted to the middle order. Obviously his success there was already under question and this is what happened, after which he was dropped from the team in the last T20. In such a situation, has the time come to drop Gill after continuous failure? This is the biggest question because Samson had performed well in the opening.
Coach Gambhir has so much faith in Shubman Gill that he will hardly drop him from the playing-11 this time too.
In such a situation, Samson may have to wait. Talking about playing-11, Jasprit Bumrah, who has been playing continuously, may be rested from this match and Harshit Rana may return. Bumrah also has to play Test series from 14th November. In such a situation, he can be given a break from this match.India's probable playing-11
