India vs Australia Sydney Test: It is a big question as to who will be in the playing eleven of Team India and who will not for the fifth and last match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series between India and Australia to be held in Sydney. Indian captain Rohit Sharma has informed the team management that he will not be a part of the playing eleven for the Sydney Test and head coaches Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar have agreed to this.
According to Indian Express, Shubman Gill will be included in the team in place of Rohit Sharma, while Jasprit Bumrah will once again be seen leading the Indian team. Let us tell you, due to the birth of his second child, Rohit Sharma was not a part of the Indian team for the first match of the BGT series held in Perth and Bumrah led the Indian team in his place. place of bumrah
Rohit being out of the playing eleven also means that now the pair of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal will open the innings for India. The way KL Rahul has performed while opening in this series, it has forced Rohit to change his place.
At the same time, the return of Shubman Gill at number three is considered certain. After this Virat Kohli can be seen. Rishabh Pant will be successful in making his place in the team. Some reports regarding Rishabh Pant claim that Dhruv Jurel may get a chance in his place in the playing eleven, but this does not seem to be happening.
Apart from this, Prasidh Krishna is sure to get a chance in place of fast bowler Akash Deep, who is injured. During practice on the eve of the match, Gambhir was seen having a long conversation with Bumrah. Rohit was seen in the nets for a while. Rohit was among the last people to come for practice. He was also missing during the regular slip practice session.
Rohit Sharma has had to struggle with the bat in recent Test matches. His average in the last three Test matches played in Australia was only 6.2 and in the last nine Test matches his average was 10.93. After defeats in New Zealand and at home and two defeats by Australia in the current series after India won the opening Test match, his captaincy has also come under question.
The place of Washington Sundar is also considered to be fixed. However, as the match progresses in the Sydney Test, spin bowlers get the advantage, Jadeja’s place is also certain. Apart from this, the place of Siraj and Reddy is also confirmed.
Possible playing eleven of Team India in the fifth test- Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna.
