4th Test: Sundar Replaces Gill As Australia Win Toss, Elect To Bat First Against India
Boxing Day Test: Off-spin all-rounder Washington Sundar replaces Shubman Gill as Australia won the toss and elected to bat first against India in Boxing Day Test at a packed Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Thursday.
The five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series is currently tied at 1-1. With Gill going out, India captain Rohit Sharma has slotted himself at number three. Sundar becomes India’s second spin bowling option at Melbourne alongside left-arm spin all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. It also means India has now three all-rounders in Sundar, Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy.
“We would have batted as well, looks like a good wicket. The series is 1-1, a lot to play for, it gives us a perfect opportunity to show what we are as a team. Whatever situation lies in front of you, you have to fight. It's a new day and we are looking forward to it. Yes, I will (bat at top of the order),” said Rohit.
