Shubman Gill axed as India pull off major surprise with just five batters in the XI; Washington Sundar back

Hindustan Times  

India pulled off a major surprise by dropping Shubman Gill for the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia at the MCG in Melbourne. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Akash Deep also held on to their places in the side, meaning India would have six bowling options, including two spinners in the series for the first time. India's Shubman Gill highest score in his last seven away Tests is 36. Australia, on the other hand, handed debut to Sam Konstas and brought Scott Boland in place of the injured Australia : Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Scott Boland India : Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep
