Would add Akashdeep instead of Harshit as he would get the ball to swing more under lights

 

Akashdeep is more of a seam bowler.

 

Bumrah, Siraj and Nitish can swing under lights.

 

Need the pace and bounce of Harshit if we bowl during day.

Agreed. Akashdeep is not a swing bowler. It's a choice between him and Harshit as both rely on movement off the surface. Harshit has done well enough to be persisted with for now.

Too many changes will be bad; I would have only one of Gill or RGS back in; KL should still open for now!

KLR is best as a opener ...

 

Is he is not opening---that will be a blunder..

 

BTW--rohit hasnt performed well as a opener for a while...let him play at 5

Correct and Rohit has been a middle order batsman for most of his career. Him opening in tests is a relatively recent development in his career and he is no longer the most effective choice there. KL has a natural opener's technique which will be needed again in the day night test which could again have tough batting conditions at the start of the innings.

Recency bias of being bowled out for 36 will be omnipresent in mind of TM. They dont want to be humiliated again. So if they win the perth test their primary motive will be to survive Adelaide under lights and thats where the long batting order formula will come to play in their strategy. 

Especially after winning T1, I highly doubt they're thinking negative.

 

I think the absence of Rohit and Gill - both quality experienced batters, made the team stack the batting.  With Brohit back replacing Paddikal, I think we see one of Sundar/Jurel/Reddy benched for either Ash/Jaddu/Akashdeep. 

 

If I had to bet, I'd say Jurel misses out and we see Jaddu or Akashdeep get in.

Would be a big gamble  to change the opening partnership that has just put on a record 200+ opening stand in Perth. The simplest and most rational solution is for Rohit to bat in the middle order. He is coming in without recent practice in Australia and a weak series vs NZ.

Not sure what Gill's status is - usually fractures don't heal that quickly and it wouldn't surprise me if he is available for the 3rd test at the earliest.

The side that has just been thrashed is going to go in with an unchanged side. There is no reason to make drastic changes to the side that wiped the floor with them.

I would keep the same bowlers rather than tinker for the sake of it. It's a day night game and will aid quick bowling.Sundar can easily do the same role he did here. I'd rather back a youngster than keep going back to late seniors in their late 30s. Having a young side also means that India appeared more agile in the field compared to the Aussies after a long time.

Nitin did bowl okay yesterday. He has decent action and still has ability to increase his pace if he works on his action.Looks like he can swing the ball.

 

Rohit and Gill in for Jurel and DDP.Ashwin in for Sundar.

 

Jadeja for Sundar. Ashwin's batting is down in doldrums

If fit, Gill would add more value than Padikkal

 

Star Sports said that Rohit would open. Knowing how Rohit operates, this seems likely. Personally I would prefer Jurel over Rohit with Rahul opening. But he himself won't and he is the decision maker.   : ) 

 

Jadeja's bowling, with his high pace, has been decent in Australia and he averages 21.  With a weak link like Nitish's bowling, this may be needed. And Jaddu is still a better fielder than Washington.

With a big gap now don’t see a big change in the team except getting back Gill and Rohit in. Thankfully people they will replace did not have a good match. Reddy had a very impressive outing with the bat so can make it as a middle order batsmen only. 

 

Don’t see any changes in the Aussie line up also.

Jaddu or Ashwin yes...akashdeep no..as batting would be too light 

..Gill for Jurel might happen ...

I don't have an issue with Jadeja for Sundar but there needs to be a reason for chopping and changing a winning side. if the TM had thought Jadeja was the better choice for the lead spinner, they would have gone with him in Perth as well.  I think an off spinner considering the Aussie left handers was probably why they made the call. Other things being equal I'd stick with a promising youngster who is performing OK in the last few tests both here and vs NZ.
