New Delhi: The fourth Test between India and Australia will be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. At present the 5-match series is tied at 1-1. Both teams will try to take the lead in the series by winning the Boxing Day Test. The Indian team can take the field with major changes in its playing eleven. According to reports, the Indian team can go with two spinners in the form of Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja. Apart from this, fast bowler Mohammad Siraj is also likely to be out.
Will the Indian team play with two spinners?
Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, the performance of other fast bowlers in the series has not been satisfactory. In such a situation, captain Rohit Sharma can make big changes in the Boxing Day Test. Young spinner Washington Sundar may get a chance in the playing eleven in place of Mohammad Siraj. Both the players have already played one match each in this series. Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja have also scored important runs with the bat lower down the order, and both the spinners can cause trouble for the Australian batsmen. It will be interesting to see with which playing eleven the Indian team takes the field.
