IND vs AUS Gabba Test Team India Batting Order: After two Test matches, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 has reached an even more interesting turn. A five-match Test series is being played between India and Australia. India was successful in winning the first test match by 295 runs and Australia was successful in winning the second test match by 10 wickets. Now this test series has reached a tie of 1-1. Now the third Test match between India and Australia is to be played from 14 December to 18 December at the Gabba Cricket Ground in Brisbane.
Let us tell you that in the Perth and Adelaide test matches, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul were seen opening the innings for India. Rohit Sharma was out of the team in the first test and in the second test match he came to bat at number six, in which Rohit Sharma proved to be a flop. Now the Indian team is being advised that Team India should change its opening order in the Gabba Test. Here are 2 big reasons why Team India should change the opening pair in the Gabba Test.
Rohit-Yashasvi pair beneficial for Team India
Team India will need a solid start on the fast and bouncy pitch of Gabba, in which Rohit Sharma’s experience can play an important role. Captain Rohit Sharma had failed at number six in the Adelaide Test. But Rohit Sharma is more known for opening. Rohit may not be in form at the moment, but Yashasvi Jaiswal needs the support of a senior in the opening. Yashasvi should get the support of an experienced batsman like Rohit Sharma on foreign pitches, so that he can play with more confidence. In such a situation, captain Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal should open at any cost.
Rahul should score runs with the new ball
KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal together made a brilliant partnership in the second innings of the Perth Test. But till then Rohit Sharma was not a part of the team. Rohit has returned to the team from the second test. In such a situation, KL Rahul should bat in the middle order in the Gabba Test. Because Rahul bats brilliantly with the new ball and when the new ball comes in the middle of the game, it becomes necessary for KL Rahul to be on the field. In such a situation, the team management can again see KL Rahul in the middle order role.
