Rohit Sharma
India vs Australia 2nd Test Match: The second test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is being played on the grounds of Adelaide. In this match, Team India captain Rohit Sharma has won the toss and decided to bat first. The Indian captain has made three changes in the playing eleven for this match. Australian captain Pat Cummins has made a change. Scott Boland has entered the Australian playing eleven in place of Josh Hazlewood.
Dhruv Jurel and Devdutt Padikkal are out
Indian team’s regular captain Rohit Sharma did not play in the first match against Australia. Shubman Gill got injured in the practice session. But now both these strong batsmen have returned to the Indian playing eleven for the second test. For this reason, Devdutt Padikkal and Dhruv Jurel have been shown the way out of the playing eleven. Both these players could not show anything special in the first test match.
Ashwin got a chance
Apart from this, captain Rohit Sharma has taken a shocking decision and has not included Washington Sundar in the playing eleven and Ravichandran Ashwin has got a chance in his place. Sundar had scored an important 29 runs in the second innings of the first test. Apart from this, he was also successful in taking two wickets from bowling.
Decided to bat in the middle order
Indian captain Rohit Sharma said at the time of the toss that the pitch was looking good and a little dry at the moment. There is grass also. This will help the fast bowlers. As the game progresses. Batting will get better. There will be something for everyone. It’s going to be a good game. We played a really good Test match in Perth, it was great to watch from the sidelines. What the boys did was brilliant. It’s about continuing that in this Test match. It’s a long series, we just want to focus on how we can get the result in our favour. We will try to get most things right in this game. I am batting in the middle order which is different, but I am ready for the challenge.
