IND vs AUS: Harshit Rana or Prasidh Krishna: Who Will Replace Siraj in 4th Test?

IND vs AUS 4th Test: The challenge for the Indian team is to win the fourth Test match against Australia. This match is important for India because the hopes of Team India to play the final of the ICC World Test Championship depend on this match.

For this match, Team India will not avoid betting their lives and will come out with their best playing 11.

India’s Playing XI May See Changes

Captain Rohit Sharma may change his playing 11. These changes can happen in bowling rather than batting. Jasprit Bumrah fought alone in fast bowling. They have not got a bowler to support them from the other end. Mohammad Siraj has been disappointed yet in this entire series. There is a crisis in the place of Siraj.

IND vs AUS 4th Test: Harshit Rana or Prasidh Krishna?

Team India has two contenders to replace Siraj. The first name is Harshit Rana, who has played in the first two matches. However, he could not impress much in the second match and hence was dropped from the team. Rana bowled brilliantly in the first match played in Perth and took the wicket of a dangerous batsman like Travis Head. In the second Test match, he was wicket-taker.

Team India has another option. This name is the Prasidh Krishna. Krishna can succeed on Australian pitches. They have a length that gives them extra bounce. His ball also bowls a good seam which can cause trouble for the batsmen. Siraj is not in form at the moment, so Team India may have to make this change and it may also be successful.

Risky Moves India Might Consider

Team India can also take a risk here and decide to go with an extra pace bowler while retaining Siraj. In this case, he will have to throw out Nitish Reddy or Ravindra Jadeja. Reddy bowls fast, but he is not very effective. If the pitch at MCG will be bouncy and sharp, then Team India can also throw out Jadeja. However, its chances are negligible.
