India Playing 11 for 5th Test Vs Australia: The fifth and final Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played between India and Australia from Friday, January 3. Team India is behind 1-2 in the series. In such a situation, the Indian team would like to win this match at any cost and draw the series. Know here what the playing eleven of Team India could be like in this test match.
Rohit Sharma’s poor form is a matter of concern
The biggest concern for Team India is the poor form of captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit first yearned to score runs in the middle order and then completely flopped in the opening also. So far, Rohit has been able to score only 31 runs in this series. He has reached double digits only once. In such a situation, there is news of his dropping in the fifth test. It is being said in the report that Shubman Gill may return to the team in place of Rohit.
Akashdeep out due to injury
Akashdeep has a back issue. He will not play the fifth Test to be played in Sydney. Team head coach Gautam Gambhir himself has confirmed this. In such a situation, Harshit Rana or Prasidh Krishna may get a chance in his place. Team India can also field in Sydney with three fast bowlers and two spinners.
Dhruv Jurel in place of Rishabh Pant?
There is also news that Rishabh Pant may be dropped from the Sydney Test. Rishabh has been out many times in this series by playing irresponsible shots. In such a situation, it is being said that Dhruv Jurel will get a chance in his place. However, it is not going to be so easy to oust Pant, because he has single-handedly changed the course of the match many times.
Possible playing eleven of Team India in the fifth test- Rohit Sharma/Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna/Harshit Rana.
