3. There may be benefit from Josh Hazlewood’s exclusion

2. Excellent rhythm of the bowlers of Team India
Even though the batting of Rohit Sharma and company has not been able to show anything special in this current BGT series. But Indian bowlers are looking in very good form. While the team’s star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is looking in one-sided form, Akash Deep and Mohammad Siraj have also supported him well. These fast bowlers of India had taken 7 wickets at the score of just 89 in the second innings of Brisbane Test of Australia, which clearly shows that the pace of the bowlers is strong.
1. India has not lost in Melbourne for 13 years
Even though the Indian cricket team has seen ups and downs in its performance in the current Border-Gavaskar Trophy. But Team India is showing signs of victory in Melbourne. The Indian team has not suffered defeat in Melbourne for the last 13 years. India had drawn the Melbourne Test during the 2014–15 tour. After this, wins were recorded in the matches played in 2018-19 and 2020-21. In such a situation, Team India’s victory can be expected once again.
