Sports Desk: The Indian cricket team has reached the end of its two-and-a-half month tour of Australia. And they will be able to leave the country after playing only one test. But in order to make the XI of this one match, you have to fall into huge trouble. Because half a dozen players have dropped out due to injuries.

As a result, former opener Virender Sehwag now wants to extend a helping hand to the team! Sehwag said he was ready to return to international cricket if India struggled to make the XI. He said this jokingly. However, if the injury was possible in reality, the visitors might have done so. The fourth and final Test match of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy between Australia and India will start on Friday in Gabba, Brisbane.

At the end of three matches of the series, there is a 1-1 draw. As a result, the fate of the trophy depends on the last match. But India are not getting at least six regular players in this match. Umesh Yadav, Lokesh Rahul and Mohammad Shamira have already been ruled out due to injuries. Rabindra Jadeja, Hanuma Bihari and Jaspreet Bumrah were injured in the third Test of the series in Sydney. The first three have already dropped out of the series.

Jadeja and Bihari have been dropped anew. Besides, India is not optimistic about getting Bumrah. In all, the Indian dressing room has become a hospital after losing six players in the squad. As a result, captain Ajinkya Rahane and coach Ravi Shastri are now facing a big challenge to sort out the XI of the last match. Sehwag has suggested to make their work easier with a funny trick. Sehwag uploaded pictures of injured Indian players on social media Twitter and wrote, "So many players are injured. If the XI can’t be sorted, I’m willing to go to Australia.

The matter of quarantine will be seen. ' Not only are these six playing in the series, India are not getting their two more regular players. Regular captain Virat Kohli has returned to the country after playing the first Test due to family reasons. Fast bowler Ishant Sharma could not go on tour due to injury. India has been missing them from the beginning.

Mohammad Siraj, who has played just two Tests, will be in charge of India's pace attack in Brisbane in the injured procession. New Island Saini, who made her debut in Sydney, will be your partner. Besides, either Shardul Tagore or Thangarasui Natrajan will make his debut as the third fast bowler.
