IND Vs AUS 3rd Test: In the Adelaide Test, Australia defeated India by 10 wickets, leveling the series 1-1 after India won the previous match in Perth by 295 runs.
India’s batting order, including KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma, struggled in Adelaide.
With the third Test set to begin on December 14 at the Gabba, it is crucial for India to win, prompting the need for Rohit Sharma to make three significant changes to the playing XI.

IND Vs AUS 3rd Test: Probably 3 Changes
Akash Deep/Prasidh Krishna: may replace Harshit Rana
Prasidh Krishna will likely be included in India’s playing XI for the Gabba Test, given the favourable pitch conditions for bowlers. His performance in the India A vs Australia A unofficial Test, where he took 10 wickets and scored 43 runs, boosts his case for selection. Krishna, who last played a Test against South Africa this year, may replace the out-of-form Harshit Rana.
Md Shami: May replace Harshit Rana
Another best replacement of Harshit Rana is Md Shami. Shami’s performance against Australia: in 12 matches he takes 44 wickets
Ravindra Jadeja: May replace Ashwin
Indian spinners struggled on the Adelaide pitch during the second Test, with R Ashwin taking only one wicket (Mitchell Marsh) across both innings and scoring 29 runs. His performance has been concerning, as he has not been in good form since the New Zealand series, where he took 9 wickets in three matches.
