New Delhi. Team India is going to play Test once again in Delhi. Since 1987, the Indian team has not lost a single Test here till now. The second Test between India and Australia (IND vs AUS) is being played here. In the match, Pat Cummins won the toss and decided to bat. The Indian team has made a change in the playing-11. Suryakumar Yadav got out after playing only one test. In the first Test played in Nagpur, he could score only 8 runs. Shreyas Iyer has returned to the team. He could not play in the first test due to a back injury.
Suryakumar Yadav’s return to the Test team has now become difficult. Earlier, left-arm fast bowler Jaydev Unadkat had to wait for 12 years for the second match after the debut test. Unadkat got a chance after 2010 against Bangladesh in December 2022. Delhi Test is very special for Cheteshwar Pujara. This is the 100th Test of his career. He is only the 13th Indian to do so.
Talking about Australia, he has also made 2 changes in the playing-11. Man Renshaw and Scott Boland have not got a place in the team. Left-arm spinners Matthew Kunhemann and Travis Head are playing in their place. Mitchell Starc and Cameron Green are not even appearing in this match. In this way, 3 spinners have got a chance in the playing-11 of the Kangaroo team. The Indian team is ahead 1-0 in the 4-match series. If India wins this match, then it will not lose the series after this. He has to win 3 out of 4 matches to qualify directly for the final of the World Test Championship. Right now he is first in the table while Australia’s team is on top.
