After Shubman Gill, these 2 players will be dropped! Melbourne's 'mistake' will be punished in Sydney.

The Australia tour started well for Team India, but the team's performance has deteriorated match after match. The team is on everyone's target due to its poor performance on the field, apart from this, the changes being made in the playing eleven in every match are also under question. Everyone was surprised when Shubman Gill was dropped in the Melbourne Test and now the same trend is going to continue in the Sydney Test. Team India is considering dropping two players in the Sydney Test, one of which could be Rishabh Pant.

The last Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is going to start from January 3 at Sydney Cricket Ground. Everyone has a question in their mind about what will be the playing eleven of Team India in this match. A big question is about the return of Shubman Gill, who was dropped in the Melbourne Test. If he comes back, who will replace him, this is a complicated question. At the same time, the place of star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant also seems to be in danger and the reason for this is his mistake in the last Test.

Will Pant be punished for his mistake?

Rishabh Pant, who has not been able to play a single big innings in this series, came under criticism for his way of getting out in the Melbourne Test. In the first innings, he lost his wicket at third man while trying to play a scoop, while on the last day in the second innings when Team India was struggling to draw the match, Pant made the mistake of playing an unnecessary big shot against part-time bowler Travis Head and lost his wicket. After that, wickets started falling and the team lost that match.

Due to giving wickets in both the innings, there is a demand to drop Pant from the team and now it seems that the team management is going to do so. The Indian Express has claimed in a report that the management is considering dropping Pant from the Sydney Test. If Pant is dropped, then young wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel can be included in his place. Jurel played the Perth Test but could not contribute much there. Still, he can get a chance.

Akash Deep is struggling with fitness

The second change seems certain to be in the form of fast bowler Akash Deep and his fitness is a bigger reason than his performance. According to the report, right-handed pacer Akash is complaining of back pain, due to which he may be rested from the next Test. Akash Deep has played two Tests and his bowling has been effective in both but he did not get many wickets. However, he also came under question in the second innings of Melbourne. Prasidh Krishna or Harshit Rana may get a chance in his place.
