India vs Australia, 4th Test: India Predicted XI

Heartbreak in Pune for India, euphoria in Bengaluru and a stalemate in Ranchi: this series between the top two Test sides has seen every outcome. But as India and Australia lock horns one last time in Dharamsala, both the teams will look to make those fine adjustments which will give them that slight edge over the opposition, and force a result in the final Test.

With the series currently level, India will look to cap off the season with a victory over the resilient Aussies and get the Border-Gavaskar Trophy back into their custody. Virat Kohli will obviously look to go for the win, and hence a change in the team in quite likely.

HPCA curator Sunil Chauhan made it very clear that the track at Dharamsala has pace, bounce and grass and will assist the pacers. Hence, Kohli, who has set a trend of regularly making those slight alterations, will look to fine-tune his side and play to his strengths. Here is CricTracker’s predicted XI for the series decider.

KL Rahul

Having consistently performed at the top of the order, KL Rahul has cemented his place in India’s Test squad. He’s been dependable and has offered his team a steady start right through this series. With three consecutive half-centuries, Rahul has looked positive in his stroke-play as well as his defense.

The youngster will most certainly open the batting for India as there’s no doubt about his selection in the fourth Test. What Rahul and the team would want is for him to convert the fifties into big daddy hundreds.
