Will there be major upsets in Team India before the third test?
The Indian cricket team has faced a shameful defeat in the second test against Australia. It was under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma that Team India lost three back to back test matches against New Zealand at home. Now with the return of Rohit Sharma to Australia, the losing streak has started again. The lead that the Indian team had made in the series by winning the first match has now ended. The series has reached par. Now, it will be very interesting to see what happens in the remaining three matches. However, it seems almost certain that a lot of changes will be seen in the second test.
Rohit Sharma’s coming to middle order is not beneficial
Rohit Sharma has returned in the Australia series, but it did not prove to be good. Rohit took a big decision before this match and himself came to play in the middle order. The opening pair of the first Test, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, were given a chance again in this match. But this time the pair could not click in any innings. This was also a major reason for India’s defeat. Not only did the opening pair not work, Rohit Sharma also could not do anything special by coming in the middle order. It was expected that Rohit’s batting lower down the order would give strength to India, but it did not happen. Rohit Sharma was out after scoring only 3 runs in the first innings of the match and only 6 runs in the second. Yes, if Rohit had come to his old place i.e. for opening, he might have been able to do something better. Now it should be expected that Rohit Sharma comes back to his old place i.e. opening in the third test.
Prasidh Krishna may get a chance in place of Harshit Rana
Meanwhile, whenever the team wins the match, some weak links are hidden, but after the defeat, all these things come out in the open. Harshit Rana was the weak link of the Indian team in this match. He did not get a single wicket in the entire match, he spent a lot of runs separately. In the first innings of the match, Harshit Rana spent 86 runs in 16 overs. During this period his economy was 5.67. An economy of more than 5 is considered very bad in a test match. Australia did not have a big target in the second innings, so captain Rohit Sharma did not bowl to them. Now there is every possibility that Harshit Rana’s card may be cut in the next test. There are still a few days left in the match, but there is a possibility that Prasidh Krishna, who is sitting out in the first two Tests, may be given entry in the third Test.
If the match is very important for Team India
The third match of India vs Australia series will be played in Gabba. Even though the Indian team had won the match against Australia here in the last tour, it would be unreasonable to expect this to happen every time. The next Test for India will be of do or die type, because if the Indian team loses the match, then the final of the World Test Championship will also be stuck in limbo. There will also be a fear of losing the series. Anyway, after the way Australia has made a comeback after losing the first Test at home, the team is looking even more lethal. In such a situation, it may be almost impossible to stop him here. But it remains to be seen how Team India performs under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.
