Boxing Day Test: Boxing Day Test match will be played between India and Australia from 26 December. Team India's playing eleven for this match can be revealed soon. Shubman Gill can be dropped in the fourth Test match to be held in Melbourne. So let's know what India's playing eleven can be in the Boxing Day Test match against Australia.
Gill may be out of Boxing Day Test
Let us tell you that Team India's young batsman Shubman Gill may be out of the Melbourne Test match. Gill got injured during practice in Melbourne, after which it is very difficult for him to play the Boxing Day Test match. With Gill out, Team India may have to make a lot of upheaval in its team and batting order.
Rahul can replace Gill
In place of Gill, KL Rahul, who has batted the best for India in this Test series so far, can be seen playing at number 3. If media reports are to be believed, Rahul can be sent at number 3 while captain Rohit Sharma can open with Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Rohit can open
Rohit has batted at number 6 in this series so far but even in that he was not getting into rhythm at all and he was out early in all three innings. Rohit has so far scored 19 runs in 3 innings of 2 matches in this series at an average of 6.33. But despite being in poor form, Rohit Sharma has made up his mind to open and he can start the innings with Jaiswal.
At the same time, Washington Sundar, the favorite player of Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir, can also enter the team. If media reports are to be believed, Team India may field two spin bowlers in the Melbourne Test match, due to which Washington can be given a place in the team as the second spinner. Washington can be given a chance in place of Nitish Reddy.
India's probable playing eleven for Boxing Day Test-
Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Akashdeep
