3rd Test IND vs AUS: Team India’s Playing XI for Gabba Match

India prepares to face Australia in the 3rd Test at the Gabba, Brisbane. The discussions around the playing XI dominate headlines and fans want to know what are the changes India should make to get back to winning ways. With the series even at 1-1 and India looking to recover from their heavy defeat in Adelaide, we are expecting a few changes to Team India’s lineup.

3rd Test IND vs AUS: Team India’s Playing XI

1. KL Rahul
2. Yashasvi Jaiswal
3. Shubman Gill
4. Virat Kohli
5. Rohit Sharma
6. Rishabh Pant
7. Nitish Reddy
8. Washington Sundar
9. Jasprit Bumrah
10. Mohd Siraj
11. Akash Deep

Openers: KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal

India is likely to stick to the opening combo of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal for 3rd Test IND vs AUS. KL Rahul’s 37-run knock in the first innings at Adelaide gives him another at the opening slot vacated by India captain Rohit Sharma.

No Changes in Middle Order

Shubman Gill followed by Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant and Nitish Reddy is the likely batting order. Captain Rohit is best at opening positon but for the team’s sake would continue with the same batting order in this test.

Couple of Changes in Bowling Department

Washington Sundar or Ravindra Jadeja are likely to come in for R Aswhin who struggled with injuries issues and didn’t have much impact in the last match.

Among the fast bowlers Akash Deep is likely to play ahead of Harshit Rana. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will be pace spearheads.
