How Will Be The Melbourne Weather?
Rain may prove to be the villain on the first day of the Boxing Day Test. According to AccuWeather’s report, there is a 25 percent chance of rain in Melbourne on the first day. One session of the day’s play may be washed away by rain. However, the chances of heavy rain are very low. Overall, the point is that fans will get a full chance to see their favorite players on the field.
Rain disappointed the fans a lot in the Gabba Test and only a few overs could be played on the first day. This match is considered very important for both teams in terms of making it to the World Test Championship final. The Indian team will have to win both the remaining Test matches at any cost to play the WTC final for the third time.
Rohit Sharma Will Open?
Before the fourth Test, some reports have surfaced that after playing at number six in two Test matches, Rohit may come out to open in Melbourne. Rohit’s performance in Adelaide and Gabba was quite embarrassing and he was seen struggling for runs. This is the reason why changes can be seen in the batting order of Team India.
Virat Kohli has also looked completely helpless in front of the Kangaroo bowlers except for one century innings. Especially the balls going outside the off stump have troubled Virat a lot. Yashasvi Jaiswal has also not been able to show anything special as an opener.
Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant have failed to convert a good start into a big innings. At the same time, Jasprit Bumrah has done well in bowling, but he has not got support from the other end.
