The second Test match between India and Australia will be played at the Melbourne ground from 26 December.
In the first Test, Australia defeated India by 8 wickets and achieved a 1-0 lead in the series. The Indian team has been elected for Boxing Day cricket. The match will be played at 5 am according to Indian adjustments.
The Indian team management has replaced Shubman Gill in the team in place of Prithvi Shaw. Prithvi Shaw had scored 0 and 4 runs respectively in the first Test, so the team management has given him the place of Shubman Gill. This will be a big opportunity for the young batsman when he is seen making his debut against Australia.
There have been 4 major changes in the Indian team but Lokesh Rahul has not got a place which is being discussed.ALERT🚨: #TeamIndia for 2nd Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia to be played in MCG from tomorrow announced. #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/4g1q3DJmm7
