Rahul Yashasvi pair did wonders in Perth Test
When Rohit Sharma returned in the second Test after missing the first Test against Australia, there was suspense regarding his batting order. In the Pink Ball Test, Rohit Sharma opened the innings with the pair of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal. However, this plan could not do much work and Jaiswal and Rahul failed to make a big partnership in both the innings.
Will Rohit Sharma make changes in the batting order?
After Team India’s crushing defeat in the Adelaide Test, cricket experts started talking about a change in Rohit Sharma’s batting position. But recently the Australian broadcaster has made a big revelation about the batting position of the Team India captain for the next test.

That means once again KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal will be seen starting the innings and Rohit Sharma will be seen playing in the middle order for Team India.
Rohit-Kohli sweated in Adelaide
The poor form of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli is becoming a headache for Team India. This is the reason why head coach Gautam Gambhir is in no mood to give rest to both of them. On Tuesday morning, a video surfaced from Adelaide in which Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were seen practicing vigorously. During this time, Gambhir was keeping a sharp eye on both of them. In the Adelaide Test, Kohli scored 7 runs in the first innings and 11 runs in the second. Rohit Sharma also had the same condition. The Indian captain returned to the pavilion after scoring 3 runs in the first innings and 6 runs in the second.
What changes can happen in the playing eleven of Team India?
India’s 22 year old young pacer Harshit Rana had a very disappointing performance in the Pink Ball Test match played in Adelaide. He could not take a single wicket in the entire test. Not only this but he proved to be the most expensive in the first innings. He gave 86 runs in 16 overs. Now Akash Deep can be given a chance in his place as the third pacer in the third test.
Apart from this, Ravichandran Ashwin also could not contribute much with ball and bat in Adelaide. He took only 1 wicket for 53 runs in 18 overs. In his place, Washington Sundar can again be included in the playing 11 or Ravindra Jadeja may also get a chance.
Team India’s probable playing 11 for Brisbane Test
Rohit Sharma (captain), KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar/Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep.
