Brisbane Test: Rishabh Pant may play as specialist batsman, Saha as Wicketkeeper

By IANS News January 11, 2021 • 23:26 PM View: 1610

India's lower middle-order could be the weak link with both Hanuma Vihari (hamstring tear) and Ravindra Jadeja (dislocated thumb) being unlikely starters for the fourth and final Test against Australia starting on Friday at the Gabba in Brisbane. They could draft in Wriddhiman Saha as regular wicketkeeper and play Rishabh Pant as the specialist batsman.

India could also draft in either Mayank Agarwal or Prithvi Shaw as a specialist batsman.
