India vs Australia 3rd Test: What will the playing XI look like?
In the first two Tests against the Australian team, the Indian team showed excellent performances. In particular, the Indian team showed quality bowling and captured all 40 wickets of Australia in 4 innings. Hence, expect some change in their batting line-up.
For India, opener KL Rahul was dropped as vice-captain after the Delhi Test. The BCCI has entrusted captain Rohit with the authority to appoint a new vice-captain for the team.
KL Rahul has scored only 125 runs in his last 10 innings. His average is less than 35. In three innings so far in the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy, Rahul has returned 20, 17 and 1 not out.
Gill is the answer to Rahul
On the one hand, Rahul has struggled with his batting and on the other, opener Shubman Gill is the highest run-scorer in all formats of cricket so far this year. He has been threatening with a double century and two centuries in ODIs and a century in T20Is. The 23-year-old had also scored his maiden Test century in December last year against

His omission from the Test team for the first two matches of the series came as a surprise to many. But Gill looks set to replace Rahul with Rohit Sharma as the opener in the match starting tomorrow. He was participating in a slip catching session with former Indian captain Virat Kohli during the training session of the Indian players.
There is no change in the bowling line-up
It seems that there may be some changes in the bowling line-up of the Indian team. Spinners Ravichandran Ashwin (14) and Ravindra Jadeja (17) combined to take 31 of the 40 wickets they lost in the series. Although third-spinner Axar Patel has not taken many wickets, he is India’s second-highest run-scorer with 158 runs in two innings. Therefore, the Indian team management is unlikely to change this winning combination.
The fast bowling partnership of Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj is also unlikely to be broken. In the 2nd Test in Delhi, Shami took 7 wickets including 4 wickets in the first innings. Siraj, on the other hand, was effective in the early stages of the innings in both the Tests.
