At the toss, Indian captain Rohit Sharma noted that they are once again playing the same spin bowling combination in this last Test match against Australia that has played the series so far. The hosts started this Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023 with the spin trio of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel. Jadeja and Ashwin have together ended up taking as many as 40 wickets in the three Test matches and Axar’s valuable 185 runs have forced India to do away from left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Incidentally, after picking up a stunning six-wicket haul during the first Test in Bangladesh, Kuldeep has stayed on the bench for as many as five consecutive Test matches.
