India vs Australia: The Indian team had to face a crushing defeat by 9 wickets against Australia in the third Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series played in Indore. With the victory in this match, the Kangaroo team has confirmed its place in the final match of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023. At the same time, in order to win the last Test match, Team India will also have to make necessary changes in their playing 11.
If the Indian team has to completely confirm its place in the WTC, then it is very important for them to win the Ahmedabad Test match. However, if the team is not successful in doing so, then it will have to depend again on the result of the 2-match Test series to be played between New Zealand and Sri Lanka.
One change in the playing 11 of Team India in the Ahmedabad Test match which is believed to be certain is the return of fast bowler Mohammed Shami. Taking the decision to rest Shami in the Indore Test match, the team management decided to include Umesh Yadav in his place.
Will KL Rahul return to playing 11?
Apart from this, the one change that is being expected in the team is the return of KL Rahul to the playing 11 again. In the last Test match, Shubman Gill was included in his place, who failed to impress with his performance in both the innings. In such a situation, the team management may decide to include Rahul again and give him another chance to prove himself.
Here is the possible playing 11 of the Indian team for the Ahmedabad Test match
Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, KS Bharat (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Akshar Patel, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj.
