India v/s Australia @ Gabba 4th Test Match Preview

The walking wounded ! (India v Australia 4 th Test Match Preview)   As India enter the colosseum at the Gabba, the Indian playing XI, might as well be the picks from “The last man standing” . News kept filtering in throughout the past few days leading to this 4 th & final Test match about the fitness & injuries of various players and it has started to resemble a small medical hospital camp. A ray of hope, did emerge, though quite a faint one & perhaps clinging to the last minute miracles so to say, when Vikram Rathour announced that Bumrah may play, if he can . Well, that’s as good as saying that he won’t play if he can’t. Not very conclusive in itself but enough for Team India to deviate from its usual practice of announcing the playing XI, a day ahead of the match. It will be interesting to see who will walk to the park, come 15 th Jan but that will also speak a lot about the mental make-up of captain Rahane & the team management. Will it go for the 5 bow...
