Cricket News: Ultimate decider of resilience as India to face Australia in 4th Test at Gabba

The fourth and final Test at the Gabba will decide over who will kitty the four-match Test series between Australia and India which is currently levelled at 1-1. With team India currently turned into a ‘mini-hospital’, it itself poses a gigantic challenge in front of them to face Australia in their own backyard. On one hand where Australia look all geared up and ready to face Rahane & Co., team India are still to zero in on whom to add in the 11-member army for the crucial decider against Tim Paine’s Australia. The Indian side is currently marred with injuries and that to players who have in the past matches have played a pivotal role in taking the side where it stands in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The likes of Jasprit Bumrah, R Ashwin, R Jadeja, and Rishab Pant amongst the other players are on the bench amid injuries and players who will come in their place are yet to be finalized by the selectors. This match will be the biggest challenge in terms of fitness and recovery, especially for fast bowlers. Adelaide was a short game, after Melbourne, there was a week's gap, but this time it's been three days. Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are all good to go again, but they will surely hope that Australia can bat first.
