As India prepares for the Boxing Day Test against Australia, all eyes are on skipper Rohit Sharma’s batting position. With the series tied 1-1, Rohit's move to open could disrupt the lineup, possibly affecting players like KL Rahul and Shubman Gill. 

Rohit Sharma Faces Key Batting Decisions in Boxing Day Test

India are back at one of their favourite Australian venues where they have remained undefeated in Tests since the 2014 series.

Divine intervention and a wagging tail might have lifted India's sagging spirits in Brisbane but an out-of-form skipper Rohit Sharma's batting position will be in focus against a dangerous Australia bracing to deliver the knockout punch in the 'Boxing Day' Test starting here on Thursday.
The Indian skipper was the last to hit the nets on Christmas eve and there is speculation doing rounds that he could replace the team's most assured opener, KL Rahul, at the top of the order.
If that happens, Rahul will come in at No. 3 while Shubman Gill could either play in the middle order or make way for a Dhruv Jurel in the playing eleven. The series is currently locked 1-1.
The Indian skipper stopped batting in the middle order after being elevated to the opening slot back in 2019. But he chose to come down in Adelaide and Brisbane to accommodate an in-form Rahul and first-Test centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal.
The move was a spectacular failure and it remains to be seen how the team adjusts in case Rohit opens and Gill is either dropped or bats at number five.
Asked about his batting position during the pre-match press conference, he was borderline irritated.
"Let's not worry about that. I think who bats where, we should be discussing that within ourselves and I shouldn't be answering this question in every press conference," the skipper just about held his composure.
&nbsp;
How teams are stacked
Both captains feel that 1-1 after three games is a fair reflection of the competition between the sides but things can quickly change at the MCG.
The rain-affected draw at the Gabba was like a soothing balm for India after Pink Test debacle in Adelaide.
But now, India are back at one of their favourite Australian venues where they have remained undefeated in Tests since the 2014 series.
The last two (2018-19 and 2020-21) of the three Tests (other being 2014-15) resulted in Indian wins where solid batting played its part.
But this line-up, with three young mavericks (Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill), one confident opener (KL Rahul) and a couple of ageing stalwarts (Virat Kohli and Rohit) hasn't looked very assured.
They will have to put up their best show against a home team which isn't exactly a runaway favourite either but has shown tremendous resilience.
For under-fire Rohit, it is his own reputation as a Test batter that is at stake while Kohli will need to channelise the inner champion in him which lit up the MCG skyline with the most talked about sixes in his T20 career.
Those sixes required flair, the situation now will warrant loads of patience when Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc tease him with that probing line outside the off stump.
For Rohit, the equation is as simple as it gets. Win the next two Tests and likely head into a potentially memorable swansong at the Lord's in June.
A captain has to score and even without an injured Josh Hazlewood, Australia would be a handful with local hero Scott Boland ready to bowl those uncompromising hard lengths.
Jaiswal, Gill and Pant would like to live up to their own expectations and go into the game with an uncluttered mindset as expected by their skipper.
&nbsp;
Indian Bowling combination
For the hosts, all eyes will be on teenage sensation Sam Konstas, billed as one for the future with an attacking game to match Jasprit Bumrah.
Konstas would do well to know that Bumrah has already put brakes on his predecessor Nathan McSweeney's career.
The other good news for Australia is that the marauding Travis Head is fully fit and raring to go at Melbourne which is certain to increase the creases on Rohit's forehead.
Head had an extended session on Wednesday where he appeared for a fitness test and then looked in good touch at the nets.
With scores of 89, 140 and 152, the Indian bowlers need some special plans to counter their main threat.
Temperature is predicted to be close to 40 degrees followed by an equally hot second day, which is why the role of an extra spinner is being seriously looked into by the team management.
But if one looks at teams in recent Tests at MCG, the option for second specialist spinner has never looked viable.
The pitches at MCG, over the years, don't have too many cracks but could offer variable bounce which Nathan Lyon has used to the fullest in the past.
But then Lyon, as a finger spinner, is in a different league compared to a relatively inexperienced Washington Sundar.
The question is where does one fit in Washington? Dropping Nitish Reddy could just be a very poor move.
Will they trade a seamer like Akash Deep specifically looking at conditions? Looks unlikely unless it's a like-for-like fast bowler taking that slot.
Rohit will have a lot on his plate as skipper and more as batter if he goes back to the top.

BGT 2024-25: Sam Konstas Replaces Nathan McSweeney in Australia squad

Australia revamps its squad for the fourth Test against India, dropping Nathan McSweeney and introducing teenager Sam Konstas. Jhye Richardson also returns, while Josh Hazlewood is ruled out with a calf injury. Both teams are tied 1-1 in the Border-Gavaskar series.

The two sides are locked at 1-1 in the five-Test series with India needing one more win to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Opener Nathan McSweeney was dropped from Australia's squad for the fourth Test against India on Friday, with teenager Sam Konstas getting his first call-up.
Fast bowler Jhye Richardson was also included in the 15-man lineup to give the team more options with Josh Hazlewood sidelined by a right calf injury.
The two sides are locked at 1-1 in the five-Test series with India needing one more win to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
McSweeney had played in all three Tests so far after winning the race to replace the retired David Warner at the top of the order alongside Usman Khawaja.
But the 25-year-old, who is not a specialist opener, struggled to assert himself, particularly against Indian spearhead Jasprit Bumrah.
His highest score was 39 and he was dismissed for nine and four in the third Test at Brisbane.
In contrast, 19-year-old Konstas has been in sizzling domestic form with calls mounting to bring him into the international fold.
Earlier this season, he became the youngest player since Ricky Ponting to score two centuries in the same Sheffield Shield match.
He also slammed a century playing for the Prime Minister's XI against India.
His inclusion does not necessarily mean he will play, with reserve batsman Josh Inglis also a potential opening partner for Khawaja.
"Sam gets a call up to the Test squad for the first time. His style of batting offers a point of difference and we look forward to watching his game develop further," said chief selector George Bailey.
"We remain confident Nathan has the ability and temperament to succeed at Test level in the future. It was a difficult decision to leave him out.
"It has clearly been a challenge at the top of the order for batters throughout the series and we want to provide the option of a different line up for the next two matches," he added.
Despite Richardson returning to the squad after a wretched run with injuries, Scott Boland is widely expected to replace Hazlewood in the starting XI alongside fellow quicks Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc.
"In the absence of Josh Hazlewood, Jhye provides further options in the fast bowling space," said Bailey.
"It has been pleasing to see his successful return throughout the early part of the domestic summer."
Australia squad: Pat Cummins (capt), Travis Head, Steve Smith, Sean Abbott, Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Jhye Richardson, Mitchell Starc, Beau Webster
