Ajinkya Rahane is all set to lead India in the boxing day Test against Australia starting from tomorrow. The team line-up has been announced where opener Shubhman Gill and fast bowler Mohammad Siraj are set to make their debut tomorrow.
Australia won the first Test where Virat and Company were reduced to 36 runs in the second innings of the match. After India's crushing defeat there were speculations that senior player Kl Rahul would get a chance before Prithvi Shaw and Subhuman Gill but he is still out of playing 11.
Meanwhile, the Indian team pitched Rishabh Pant back into the squad as a replacement for Wriddhiman Saha and dropped a batsman to make a way for all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja back in the squad.
