IND vs AUS: This player may get a chance in place of Rohit in the fourth test, the Kangaroos have blown away their senses.

IND vs AUS 4th Test: The Border-Gavaskar series between India and Australia is currently tied at 1-1. Both the teams will now play two matches each at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). In this match, Team India can make a big change and give wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel a chance at number six in place of captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit's form has been worrying in recent times. The Indian captain appeared uncomfortable after suffering the injury while facing throwdown specialist Daya in India's second net session in Melbourne.

This player may get a chance in place of Rohit

If Rohit is not fit for the Boxing Day Test starting from December 26, then wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurel has a chance of playing in his place. In this series, Rohit was seen playing at number six instead of opening after a long gap of six years. However, this move of the team management has not worked, where the Indian captain has not produced a single big innings in the last two matches.

Rohit has 19 runs in two tests

Rohit, playing at number six in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, has scored 3, 6 and 10 runs in three innings. Before Australia, Rohit could not perform well with the bat even in the home series against Bangladesh and New Zealand. Currently, the series between the two teams is currently tied at 1-1. It is very important for the team to win this match to win the series and make it to the final of the World Test Championship. In view of this the team can take some bold decisions.

How appropriate is it to feed Jurel?

After Rohit's poor form, the demand to replace Jurel in his place is also rising because the wicketkeeper batsman has a good record against the Kangaroo team. Jurel had a very good performance with the bat on India A's tour of Australia ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where he impressed everyone with scores of 80, 68, 11 and 1 in four innings. Apart from this, he has been in Australia for the last two months and probably has a better understanding of the conditions while batting in the middle order than Rohit. Also, it should not be forgotten that before going to Australia, Jurel had played red ball cricket continuously in the domestic circuit.
