News coming out that Rohit, Pant, Gill, Shaw and Saini are in quarantine as they broke some bio bubble protocols. They were allowed to go outside though but some fans spotted them, one fan even paid their bill.

So what happens if they are quarantined and how many days they will be kept under observation and in normal circumstances it is one week and with that the situation, is it possible for them to play the next match and if not it will be a huge setback as Gill will be the player that will be missing from the team and who will be replacing him.

Ganguly suffered a heart attack and was rushed to hospital and now he is in stable condition, hope he recovers soon.

Its not good to hear this news. I still think that they should of just played the third test match in Melbourne but now with the virus growing in NSW and now here in Victoria it is making it hard for the series to go on as borders are now shut to NSW and Queensland have shut their borders to NSW so after this test match in Sydney I don't know what they are going to do about the fourth test match which is meant to be played in Brisbane. The ACB have some big decisions to make right now.

An experienced opener is very much needed for a Test match. If a team can't get off to a good start, they have to fight hard to get back on track. It would be a blessing for India if Rohit Sharma plays as Agarwal's replacement. India will be able to perform better if there are skilled and experienced players like Rohit Sharma in the team.

Hitman cleared the fitness test still he may be rusty for a while because coming into play at different playing condition after a long break will make the things difficult for him personally but when we say experience then we can feel a bit safer because he knows how to tackle the condition at any situation.

you are right. The most important thing is, he is enough experienced. who knows how to play in any situation. He can perform well in the needs of the team. I want to see some great innings of Rohit Sharma against Australia.

Rohit Sharma is yet to prove himself in the Test format and it is not easy to be the opener in fast wickets and if you take a look at the balls Mayank Agarwal was dismissed then all of those balls were spotless top deliveries and any batman could have dismissed with those deliveries and Rohit Sharma is returning after an injury and i doubt whether he will make any impact.

Rohit Sharma is 33 years old, and till now he has played only 32 test matches (now compare this to 87 matches for Virat Kohli, 79 for Cheteshwar Pujara, and 67 for Ajinkya Rahane). So obviously he is not that experienced in the longer format. But his test record is not that bad. He averages 46.54 with the bat, which is comparable to Pujara/Rahane.

If India playing Test match in their own backyard then Rohit sharma should be in the Playing XI without any doubt, even ahead of likes of Pujara, Rahane etc but when playing away then i am not too sure, his batting average is less than Jadeja. Hope this help....

Despite all this i am in favor of him opening the inning because last year he opened the innings against SA, BAN and made 3 tons. So team should try him at least 1 time.

Rohit Sharma was not a regular test cricket player, he concentrated more on the shorter format and got huge success as well in the recent years. He also can be considered as one of the best scorers once he reached certain balls and score on a game so early stage is the big issue for him even in this IPL he didn't play outstanding innings, he was an average player but compared to the young openers who failed miserably then he is the only choice for replacement now.

Rahane has shown that he can win test matches as a captain, which means he need to get more opportunities. I do not think it would have been right for him to be replaced by Rohit Sharma. That would not have been ethically wrong. Keeping Rohit Sharma as a vice captain is a good decision as he has proven his ability as a good captain in ODIs in the past. His inclusion in the squad as a vice captain will only make the test team strong and he will be a great help to the captain too.

Rohit Sharma replacing Pujara as a Vice captain for next 2 games.

So Rohit Sharma will be playing in the next match and who he will be replacing, if so Mayank Agarwal will loose his position and Natarajan replaced Umesh Yadav but whether he will be playing in the match is yet to be known. Australia will be waiting for the fitness test of Warner and they need him in the team as they are struggling with the bat and the next match is crucial as India will be coming into the match with boosted confidence .

Of course Rohit is going to replace Mayank Agarwal for sure because in both the matches shaw and Agarwal didn't give a good start to their innings which bring the struggle in real quick for other batsmen so having an experienced opener will solve a lot of problems in the middle order batsmen if they did then all the three departments of the Indian team will look too strong.

Latest news from the Indian test squad is that Thangarasu Natarajan will be replacing injured Umesh Yadav for the remaining two matches. I am not sure whether he will get a slot in the playing XI though, since Mohammed Siraj had a good outing in his debut test. I always had a feeling that Natarajan was more suitable for the longer format, when compared to the shorter one, but let's see how he performs (if he gets a chance).

How fortune change so quickly. He was replacement of Varun Chakarvarthy in T-20 and got his maiden cap. Then Saini got injured in ODI and Natarajan replaced him and earned ODI maiden cap, now Umesh is injured and he's in the squad. Although tough fight for 3rd Pacer (Shardul-
Saini-Natarajan)

That much luck I need my life or atleast in this 2021. Wink

I guess problem Natarajan maybe given a chance since he performed really well in this series already so selection committee was forced to take such decisions to avoid criticism from the cricket world.

I just hope that the NSW government can get the virus outbreak under control because it could risk the fourth test match being delayed as the Queensland government have closed its borders to NSW. So I really don't understand why they even had to have the test match played in Sydney when it could of been played in Melbourne again. Anyway lets hope that all is safe for this upcoming test match and that we have a great match.

Well they look quite determine to host the test, may be they should go ahead with no spectators if health minister or experts are really concern about the spreader.

They should be conducting the test match if not at this ground and if other venue is possible on last moment then should shift if the need be but taking a break/postponement would just break the jinx of the team as now they are highly motivated with the last win and would like to continue without any break .

I was looking forward to this match. Now that the match has been postponed due to the epidemic, it is sad news for us. Because the series is now tied at 1-1. The next match will be very exciting and competitive. India will want to win the series. And Australia will not want to lose any more matches in the series. I hope the situation will be normal, and the match will be held on time.

Oh! That is bad news, after the last match I was waiting for this match. I never thought that things will turn such bad due to the pandemic. Both teams have been playing really well and I had the opinion that the third test would be a close encounter. But, health is first, any news till when the match has been postponed?

So far no news has been received that the match has been postponed. But there are concerns over whether the match will be held in Sydney. The possibility of an outbreak of Cronavirus in Sydney could be further increased if outsiders travel to NSW, so perhaps the game will be postponed. Otherwise the venue may be changed. Or, visitors will not be allowed. Wait and see what the Australian Cricket Board will decides.
