Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2020-21: Gill, Rahul and Pant likely to get the nod for Boxing Day Test
First Published Dec 20, 2020, 5:16 PM IST
India is off to an unwanted start in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, having lost the opening day-night Test in Adelaide. India would be looking to win the upcoming Boxing Day Test in Melbourne to level the series and stand a chance to retain the title.

After a horrific outing in the opening day-night Test in Adelaide, India would be looking to brush aside the rustiness and get things back on track for the upcoming Boxing Day Test in Melbourne from Saturday. However, it would be interesting to see if India sticks with the core team, or shuffle it for better performance and result.

The Indians would be missing the services of skipper Virat Kohli, who is flying back to India on paternity leave. As Ajinkya Rahane takes over the reins for the remaining three Tests, it would be intriguing to see what new changes does he and the team management come up with, as they trail in the series.
