A lot of rumours have been circulated about the playing 11 which will fielding for India in the crunch game. Lately, BCCI posted a photo of Indian players which is looked at as a hint to the netizens. Did BCCI just reveal Team India Playing 11? let’s find out.
Indian players have started their preparation in full flow for the mega test against Aussie pacers. However, the news of Hazelwood’s unavailability may have put a smile on the Indian batter’s face. Whereas the Indian team has been practicing for the test match since they arrived on the 1st of June.
As the conditions of the Oval are very suitable for the seamers both teams would like to field 4 seamers in their lineup. This way India would only have a chance to field only one between Axar and Ashwin. The sectors will have a tough job ahead of them in picking a strong lineup.
