Steve Smith and captain Pat Cummins will keep the scoreboard moving forward for Australia on the second day. Let us tell you that till now both the teams had entered the series with a mixture of 4 fast and one spin bowling, but Team India has played 2 main spinners in the form of Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar in the Melbourne Test. This has been a strategy which did not prove to be very effective on the first day. However, Jadeja and Sundar were successful in taking one wicket each.
Now the Indian team would like to wrap up the Australian innings as soon as possible and try to score big in batting. Since Shubman Gill is not playing in the fourth test, there has been a change in the batting order as well. Captain Rohit was till now batting at the sixth position, but now he will be seen batting at the third position.
