Expansion
Australia were on the backfoot before the Indore Test, trailing 0-2, but they turned things around by winning the third Test. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, when Team India will play the fourth Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday, there will be pressure on it. The pressure will be on to win this Test at any cost. A win here will not only get the Indian team into the final of the World Test Championship, where they will once again play Australia in June. At the same time, he will have the challenge of maintaining the six-year reign against Australia.
Team India has won three consecutive Test series from Australia since 2016-17. If he wins the Ahmedabad Test, it will be his fourth consecutive Test series win over Australia. Although India is ahead 2-1 in the series, in case of a 2-2 draw, they will retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Smith’s captaincy will be a challenge
Steve Smith’s captaincy will also be a challenge in front of India. He displayed excellent captaincy in the Indore Test. He is captaining in the absence of regular captain Pat Cummins. He used Nathan Lyon brilliantly in Indore. Mohammed Shami can be played in place of Mohammed Siraj in the Indian team.
