India vs Australia 5th Test Match: India vs Australia 5th test match. That means the last match of the long series. Now there is not much time for this match to start. The fourth Test ended on 30th December and the next match will start from 3rd January, which will be played in Sydney. The Indian team had to face a crushing defeat in the last match. Which cannot be called anything more than shameful. This is the reason why Team India has now lagged behind in the series and after a long time, the danger of losing the Border Gavaskar Trophy is also looming. But the question is that after such a poor game, will captain Rohit Sharma make some changes in the playing eleven, or will he field the losing team again.
Washington Sundar was entered in the last match in place of Shubman Gill.
In the fourth match of the series, a big decision was taken that Shubman Gill was left out and Washington Sundar was entered in his place. If you have followed all the matches of the series till now, then you would know that the weak link of Team India has been batting. The bowlers have done their job. Now if the bowler creates a chance and the catch is dropped then what will anyone do? But even after this the Indian team entered the field with one batsman less. Admittedly, Sundar can also bat, but the question should be asked whether he is a better batsman than Shubman Gill. Even at a time when the Indian team bowled well, Mohammad Siraj was such a bowler who could not leave his mark.
Mohammad Siraj may have to go out of playing eleven
Without going too far back, if we talk about the fourth match itself, Mohammad Siraj spent 122 runs in 23 overs in the first innings of the match and he did not get a single success. He was the most expensive bowler of the Indian team in this innings. He definitely took three wickets in the second innings, but by then it was too late and the Australian team had established its dominance in the match. When it came to drawing the match, they could not do anything there either. In such a situation, it is possible that Mohammad Siraj may be shown the way out of the playing eleven of the last match of this series.
Prasidh Krishna may be given a chance in the last match
Now the question is that if Mohammad Siraj is out, then there is a possibility of an entry in his place. So the strongest contender is Prasidh Krishna, who has been with the team continuously and has not been given a chance to play yet. Maybe he might get a chance in the last test and do something amazing on the Sydney ground. The team management will also have to decide whether they want to field only two spinners, or one spinner will suffice. If two spinners are required then there will be no further changes in the team. But if only one spinner is played then it is possible that Shubman Gill may return. But what is the final decision, it will be revealed on January 3 at 4.30 am, when captain Rohit Sharma will come to the middle ground for the toss.
