Australia and India are now tied 1-1 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and both teams will need to win the fourth match at Melbourne Cricket Ground. Given the high stakes of the game, both clubs will be evaluating and analysing their rosters. Sam Konstas and Jhye Richardson have been added to Australia's roster for the rest of the series. India may also consider making changes to their lineup for the upcoming Test match at Melbourne Cricket Ground. The first alteration would be to replace Nitish Kumar Reddy with Washington Sundar.

For benching someone like Nitish, who has been playing consistently with both the bat and the ball, the replacement seems a little out of place. Nonetheless, Washington Sundar, an all-round player, may make a substantial contribution if the team's spin strength is taken into consideration.
