IND vs AUS: Runs are pouring in St. Lucia, Rohit Sharma takes a big step, Team India will field this playing XI against Australia!

India and Australia will face each other in St. Lucia in their last Super-8 match of the T20 World Cup 2024. St. Lucia is the venue of this T20 World Cup where the most runs have been scored. Now where runs have been scored, is there any scope for change in the team? Will Team India, which has not changed so far in the Super-8, change in the important match against Australia? Rohit Sharma's decision will be seen giving answers to these questions.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma knows very well how important the match against Australia is. He knows that a win in this match can get his team a ticket to the semi-finals. On the other hand, a defeat can put him in a situation of ifs and buts. To avoid such a situation, Rohit Sharma is going to be very careful about his team combination against Australia.

Will the playing XI change depending on the nature of the St. Lucia pitch?

The scoring rate during this T20 World Cup in St. Lucia has been 8.92. The average of runs scored has been 28.76. But will this nature of the pitch of St. Lucia alone force Indian captain Rohit Sharma to make changes in the team? Probably not because India already has batsmen till number 8 in its batting order.

Will there be a change in India's bowling?

Now if the nature of the pitch of St. Lucia is not going to bring any change in Team India's batting, then will there be any change in bowling? India is currently in the field with 3 spinners and 2 specialist pacers. Now if we look at the economy of pacers vs spinners in St. Lucia, then we will get the answer whether Rohit will make any change here or not?

The economy of fast bowlers in St. Lucia is 9.42, which is the worst in this T20 World Cup. In comparison, the economy of spinners is slightly better here at 7.91. It is clear that on the basis of these figures, there seems to be no change in the bowling of Team India.

This could be the playing XI of Team India

In such a situation, it can be said that there is no possibility of change in Team India's playing eleven even in its last Super-8 match to be played in St. Lucia. Meaning, Team India's playing eleven can be this again.

Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Shivam Dubey, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah
