Wriddhiman Saha, R Ashwin, and Prithvi Shaw have been selected to represent India in the upcoming Adelaide Test. Umesh Yadav completes the trio of fast bowlers. The main questions for India before the Test included Shaw’s continuity, the inclusion of a spinner, and the choice of wicketkeeper. Shaw, despite the pressure, was confirmed as the opener. Although Shubman Gill performed better in the practice matches, Shaw kept his place.

Shaw is a starting pitcher and demonstrated his ability in one of his performances in New Zealand.
