The Indian selection faced crucial decisions before the test. Uncertainty revolved around whether to maintain confidence in the young Shaw, the inclusion of a spinner, and the choice of wicketkeeper. Finally, a decision was made: Shaw, despite competition from Shubman Gill, who performed well in practice matches. Shaw, who has already demonstrated his ability to score runs, was chosen to open the game.

Regarding the spinner, Ashwin, he remained in the team, given the absence of Ravindra Jadeja due to injury. History suggests that Ashwin’s experience could be key. In the wicketkeeper position, India opted for Saha, known for his superior wicketkeeping skills, instead of Pant. Yadav, with experience in tours of Australia, was selected as the third fast bowler, replacing Ishant Sharma. Get ready for the match! India’s lineup for the Adelaide Test is as follows:
