The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the India's Test squad for the third and the fourth Test against Australia following Rohit Sharma's brigade's emphatic victory in the second match of the four-match series in Delhi.

 

The Indian squad for the remainder of the Border-Gavaskar series has been left untinkered, however, Jaydev Unadkat who was released for the second Test has been brought back after he led Saurashtra to Ranji Trophy glory after beating Bengal in the final. 

 

 

India's squad for 3rd and 4th Test against Australia

 

Rohit Sharma (C), KL Rahul, S Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, KS Bharat (wk), Ishan Kishan (wk), R Ashwin, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, R Jadeja, Mohd Shami, Mohd Siraj, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat.

 

Despite KL Rahul's back-to-back flop show in the Tests, he has been given chance for the rest of the two matches. India take 2-0 lead in the ongoing test series against Australia. The third Test match will be played in Holkar Stadium, Indore from March 1. Team India have performed well in the first two games and will be looking to find the much-needed third win to secure a place in the finals of the World Test Championship. With two games at their disposal, India will surely like to get a clean sweep over Australia, but head coach Rahul Dravid wants to finish one job at a time
