IND vs AUS 3rd Test : Indian cricket team had to face a shameful defeat in the second test against Australia. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Team India has lost three test matches against New Zealand at home. Now after the return of Rohit Sharma to the team, the losing streak has started again. The lead that the Indian team had made in the series by winning the first match has now ended. Because the series is equal to 1-1. It will be interesting to see what happens in the remaining three matches. However, a lot of changes can be seen in the playing eleven in the third test.
Rohit Sharma’s failure in the middle order
However, Rohit Sharma’s return in the Australia series is not beneficial for the team. Before the second match, Rohit took a big decision and himself came to play in the middle order. The opening pair of the first Test, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, were given another chance in this match. But this time the pair failed in the second test. This was also a major reason for India’s defeat. The opening pair did not work, even in the middle order Rohit Sharma could not do anything special.
It was expected that Rohit’s batting at the lower order would give India the lead, but it did not happen. Rohit Sharma was out after scoring only 3 runs in the first innings and only 6 runs in the second innings. But it is being said that if Rohit had come to open, he could have done better. Now it is expected that Rohit Sharma will open in the third match.
Prasidh Krishna is likely to get a chance in place of Harshit Rana.
Harshit Rana was the weak link of the Indian team in the third test match. He did not get a single wicket in the entire match, he gave away a lot of runs. In the first innings of the match, Harshit Rana scored 86 runs in 16 overs. During this period his run rate was 5.67. A run rate of more than 5 is considered very bad in a test match. Australia did not have a big target in the second innings, so captain Rohit Sharma did not make them bowl. So now there is a possibility that Prasidh Krishna, who sat out the first two Tests, will be given a chance in the third Test.
This match is important for Team India
The third match of India vs Australia series will be played in Gabba. Although the Indian team had won the match here against Australia on the last tour, it would be unrealistic to expect the same every time. The next test for India will be do or die. Because if the Indian team loses this match then it will be difficult for it to reach the final round of the World Test Championship. There will also be a fear of losing the series. But now it will be important to see how Team India performs under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.
