Wriddhiman Saha, R Ashwin, and Prithvi Shaw have been selected to represent India in the next Test in Adelaide. Umesh Yadav completes the trio of fast bowlers.
Before the match, India was facing key decisions, including Shaw’s continuity, the inclusion of a specialist bowler, and the choice of wicketkeeper.
Finally, the starting lineup was confirmed on the eve of the expected Test.
Shaw, despite the pressure, maintains his place as an opener. Shubman Gill showed a better performance in the practice matches, impressing prominent figures in the cricket world.

Regarding the wicketkeeper, India opted for Saha instead of Pant.
Yadav was the choice to be India’s third fast bowler, replacing the injured Ishant Sharma.
