IND vs AUS Day Night Test: India has won the first match of the five-Test series being played against Australia. After India’s spectacular victory in the Perth Test match, now all eyes are on the second Test to be held in Adelaide. The Test match to be held in Adelaide from December 6 is considered very important because this Test match will be day-night and will be played with pink ball. Along with this, Team India’s regular captain Rohit Sharma will also return to the team in this test match.
In the absence of Rohit Sharma, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah had captained Team India during the first Test match, but now Rohit Sharma has reached Australia to play the second Test match. Along with this, batsman Shubman Gill, who did not play the first Test match, is also now ready to return to the team. In such a situation, it is believed that there will be two major changes in Team India during the second test match.
Team India won the first match without Rohit
Actually, Team India’s regular captain Rohit Sharma was not a part of the playing eleven during the first Test match. Rohit did not go to Australia with the team due to the birth of his second child. Despite the absence of Rohit Sharma, Team India, led by Jasprit Bumrah, performed brilliantly in Perth and put Australia on the backfoot. With this victory, Team India is ahead 1-0 in the series.
Now with the return of Rohit Sharma during the second test match, the change in Team India has been confirmed. In the absence of Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal opened with KL Rahul during the first Test match. The question is whether the management of Team India continues with the same opening pair or will the pair be broken for the captain.
Shubman Gill’s return to the team also decided
Shubman Gill could not play during the first Test match against Australia due to injury. Now Shubman Gill has completely recovered from the injury and while batting against Prime Minister XI, Shubman Gill also scored a brilliant half-century.
Shubman Gill has proved his fitness through his batting. Now according to cricket experts, Shubman Gill’s return to the team during the second test match is also considered certain. In such a situation, two big changes will be seen in the Indian team due to the entry of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill in the team.
These two players can be dropped
Now the biggest question is which two players will have to be sacrificed to include Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill in the team. However, if we look at the Indian XI during the Perth Test match, it becomes clear which two players will be dropped to make room for Rohit and Shubman Gill.
During the Perth Test match, Devdutt Padikkal came to bat at number three. Padikkal was included in Team India due to injury of Shubman Gill, but now he will have to sit out of India XI for the return of Shubman Gill. Dhruv Jurel was also given a chance during the Perth Test match but he will also have to vacate his place for the entry of Rohit Sharma.
No change in opening pair
However, after seeing the order of the Indian batsmen against the Prime Minister’s XI, it is believed that during the Adelaide Test match, only KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal will take charge of the opening batting for Team India. The performance of both these batsmen was good and in such a situation it is believed that there will be no tampering among the opening batsmen.
Captain Rohit Sharma can come in to bat in the middle order. However, the management of Team India has not yet opened its cards and the final XI will be known only on the morning of the first day of the Test match.
India’s probable playing XI: KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma (captain), Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Nitish Reddy, Washington Sundar, Harshit Rana, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.
