New Delhi: The third Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Test series between India and Australia will be played at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. Team India has undoubtedly won the two Test matches of the series, but the problems in front of the host team have not reduced. In fact, in the last two matches, the team’s opener batsman KL Rahul and wicketkeeper batsman KS Bharat have completely disappointed. In such a situation, now it will depend on the coach and captain whether they should be included in the playing eleven of the third Test match or not.
Opener batsman KL Rahul could not even score 40 runs in three innings of the last two Tests. Many former cricketers have also raised questions about his place in the playing XI. Because this poor form of his has continued not only in the Test series against Australia but also before that. On the other hand, if we talk about wicket-keeper batsman KS Bharat, then he has been able to score only 37 runs in his last three innings.
Will Ishaan Kishan and Shubman play the third Test?
On the one hand, KL Rahul’s performance in the Test series against Australia as Rohit Sharma’s partner has been quite disappointing. On the other hand, if we look at the recent form of Shubman Gill, he has shown an amazing game. In such a situation, the team management may give Shubman a chance in place of KL Rahul as the opening partner. Shubman had earlier scored a double century in ODI cricket while batting fast in the ODI series against New Zealand.
At the same time, Ishaan Kishan can be given a chance in place of KS Bharat in wicketkeeping. Ishaan Kishan scored ODI double century against Bangladesh. After this, when he came on the field for Jharkhand in Ranji Trophy, he played an excellent century there too.
In such a situation, in the third Test match against Australia, it is possible that instead of KS Bharat and KL Rahul, Ishaan Kishan and Shubman Gill will get a chance to play in Team India’s playing XI.
