India and Australia are going to play the 3rd Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Holkore Stadium in Indore from 1st March 2023. The match is an important fixture as India has already won the first two Test matches of the four match Test series. Steve Smith is going to captain the Australian cricket team as Pat Cummins has gone back to Australia due to family commitments. On the other hand, India has won the two matches so far but can look to change the combinations due to pressure from the countrymen.
Will KL Rahul again open the inning with Rohit Sharma, or will Shubman Gill finally get his chance to play at the top of the order in 3rd Test against Australia? These are the two questions that have been asked by people on social media and other online platforms. We believe that India will go with KL Rahul as the opener alongside Rohit Sharma. Rahul Dravid has backed Rahul despite his repeated failures, and he will most likely get one last chance to represent India in the whites to prove his worth.
