Despite Shubman Gill&#8217;s good performance in the practice matches, Shaw, with his experience, continues in the lineup.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fi%2Fcricket%2Fcricinfo%2F1244082_900x1125.png\" alt=\"India announced their XI a day before the Adelaide Test\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\nSimilarly, Ashwin, the experienced test bowler, secures his place in the team. Ravindra Jadeja&#8217;s absence due to injury and concussion led to the decision to keep Ashwin in the lineup.\n\nRegarding the wicketkeeper position, India has opted for Wriddhiman Saha instead of Pant. The team management believes that Saha&#8217;s superior skills, especially when standing close to the bowlers, make him the best option for this match.\n\nYadav was the frontrunner to be India&#8217;s third fast bowler, replacing the injured Ishant Sharma.
