With this change, KL Rahul is expected to move to the No. 3 position in the batting order for the crucial Boxing Day Test at the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in Melbourne. In the crucial decider for the must-win fourth Test, India are also considering playing two spinners.
Ravindra Jadeja is a solid choice for the MCG showdown, but Nitish Kumar Reddy will have to make way for Washington Sundar in the playing XI. Nitish Kumar Reddy will be dropped for the much-anticipated clash as India back Washington Sundar to keep their hopes alive in the ongoing Test series.
Rohit Sharma is likely to open at number 3 with Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul. The team is considering two spinners – Washington Sundar could play in place of Nitish Reddy. But Rohit is likely to open at the MCG tomorrow @toisports
