India vs Australia, 4th Test: After a narrow escape in Brisbane, Rohit Sharma and his team will be eager to put in a stronger performance as the series moves to Melbourne. Both India and Australia are level in the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and a win at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground will give either side a crucial edge.
India had a great beginning to the series, but Australia fought their way back in the match which was played as the day-night Test. The third Test saw Australia look to have things nearly under control when persistent rainfall interruptions forced the match towards a draw.
Australia’s Playing XI: Two Key Changes For The Fourth Test.
Australia has already firmed up its playing eleven for the fourth Test; two changes will be noticed in the side. Scott Boland will replace Josh Hazlewood, who is ruled out due to injury, while 19-year-old Sam Konstas comes in for Nathan McSweeney. There is also good news for Australia as the series’ leading run-scorer, Travis Head has been declared fit to play after there was some doubt over his availability, and his presence will come as a boost for the hosts going into this all-important game.
India’s Probable XI: Changes And Expectations For The Melbourne Test
India’s playing XI is yet to be confirmed, but reports suggest Rohit Sharma will likely open the batting with Yashasvi Jaiswal. KL Rahul, who has been India’s top run-scorer so far, is expected to bat at number three. India could send two spinners out; hence, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar would be asked to play the spinner’s role. In that case, one of Nitish Reddy or Shubman Gill may lose a position from the XI.
