New Delhi. India-Australia third test is about to start. India has won the toss and decided to bowl first. The sky is cloudy, which will benefit the Indian bowlers. The Indian team has come into this match with two changes. Ravindra Jadeja and Akash Deep have returned. Ravichandran Ashwin and Harshit Rana have been given rest.

This series, played under the name of Border-Gavaskar Trophy, is currently tied at 1-1. The Indian team won the first Test by 195 runs. Australia then won the second Test and levelled the series. On the change in the third Test, Sanjay Bangar said that it was a good decision. He said that Akash Deep can take advantage of the Brisbane pitch. It would have been good if he was in the first two matches as well. But now these things have no meaning. The good thing is that he has been included in the playing eleven.

India Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), KL Rahul, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.

Australia Playing XI: Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey (wicketkeeper), Pat Cummins (captain), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.
