Top Order and Middle Order
There can be no change in the top order of the Indian team. Yashasvi Jaiswal can open the innings with captain Rohit Sharma. Yashasvi has scored 155 runs in 4 innings of 2 Tests played in the series. On the other hand, captain Rohit Sharma has been able to score only 62 runs in 4 innings.
There is a possibility of only one change in India’s middle order. It is almost certain that Shubman Gill will play at number 3 and Virat Kohli at number 4. However, there is a possibility of change in wicketkeeping.
KL Rahul, who is sitting on the bench, can be tried in place of Rishabh Pant. Pant has scored 137 runs in the series so far. Virat Kohli’s bat has also remained silent so far. He has scored only 88 runs in 2 matches.
