4th Test Match- India v/s Australia: Suresh Raina, Axal Patel in Selection

The playing combination that would take on Australia in final test at SCG on Tuesday has been left think- tank after retirement of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Selection of Wriddhiman is certain by virtue of being back- keeper.

Track of Sydney's cricket ground is offering some turn and has been proved helpful for slow bowlers. Patel was flown to be replaced for injured Ravendra Jadeja who is under treatment for his left shoulder injury.

Axar having 38 wickets from 11 domestic first class games would aim to get few wickets for bolstering his chances and will also look to be accurate to stem flow of runs. There are couple of possibilities that if  dhawan is dropped from playing XI, KL Rahul will be sent to his usual position.

There might be a chance of Rahane if Rahul also gets boot. Th echoice will be betwen Rohit and Raina if one among Rahul or Dhawan manage to retain their place.
