The much-awaited Test series between India and Australia is going to begin with the first Test to be played in Nagpur from Thursday (February 9). India will have a chance to become the champion of Test and ODI formats this year. After defeating Australia, the Indian team would like to enter the final of the ICC World Test Championship for the second time in a row, where they are likely to face the Pat Cummins-led Australia team. Before the start of the series, there is a lot of discussion about the pitch and playing XI and if a report is to be believed, India may go with four spinners.

A few hours are left for the first Test match between India and Australia to begin. In such a situation, cricket experts are engaged in choosing their playing XI, but a report has given sleepless nights to the Australian team. In fact, according to a report in the Indian Express, the Indian team can go with four spinners in the playing XI. Kuldeep Yadav, Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel can be part of the playing XI. A source close to the team told The Indian Express that the team would like to take advantage of the home conditions and trouble the Australian batsmen.

The source said, “We want to take advantage of the opportunity and prepare Turner. Spinners are our biggest strength and we should give them good conditions to get wickets.

According to the report, only one of Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj and Umesh Yadav will get a place. With three of the four spinners also being expert with the bat, India will go in with a strong batting line-up. This is not good news for Australia, as it will be very difficult for Australia to face India’s spinners on the spin track.

Team India will also be eyeing the first position in the ICC Test rankings by trampling Australia. India is on the first position in T20 and ODI rankings, if the team manages to defeat Australia by 2-0 or 3-1, then it will get the first position in all formats. On the other hand, look at the Australian team, after 2004, this team has never defeated India at home.
