India Playing 11 4th Test Vs Australia: After breaking the morale of the Kangaroos at Gabba, Team India is now busy preparing for the Melbourne Test. Indian players are sweating profusely. The fourth Test match between India and Australia will be played in Melbourne from 26 December. The five-match series is currently tied at 1-1. In such a situation, this match is very important for both the teams. Know here what the playing eleven of Team India could be like in the fourth test.
The Indian team started the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy with a strong victory of 295 runs. However, the Kangaroos won the next test by 10 wickets and staged a strong counterattack. Then the third test match was a draw. Now in Melbourne, both the teams will try their best to take the lead in the series.
There can be big changes in Team India
Team India can field with two spin bowlers in Melbourne. The pitch here helps the spinners a lot. When India last won the Test match in Melbourne, even then two spinners were included in the playing eleven. In such a situation, captain Rohit Sharma can repeat the same strategy once again. In such a situation, both Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar are expected to get a chance.
Will Mohammad Siraj be out? The blame will also fall on Shubman Gill!
If Team India has to go with two spinners, then one of the fast bowlers among Mohammad Siraj and Akashdeep will have to be dropped. In such a situation, there are more chances of Siraj being out, because he has not been seen in his old rhythm on this tour yet. Apart from this, blame may also fall on Shubman Gill. Gill has not been able to play big innings in Tests for a long time.
Team India’s probable playing eleven for the fourth test- Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Akashdeep and Jasprit Bumrah.
