India were forced to make four changes going into the fourth Test at The Gabba in Brisbane. The four replacements included two debutants- T Natarajan and Washington Sundar. Ravindra Jadeja and Hanuma Vihari were already ruled out of the fourth Test and then at the start of the match Jasprit Bumrah and Ravi Ashwin were declared unfit to take part in the game. And thus India had to press debutants into the service. India vs Australia 4th Test 2021 Live Score Updates.

Mayank Agarwal and Shardul Thakur were the other two changes India made. Interestingly, India ignored Wriddhiman Saha who was earlier tipped to make it to the Indian playing XI. India also left out Kuldeep Yadav and surprised one and all with Sundar’s selection. 

Meanwhile, Natarajan and Sundar became the 300th and 301st player respectively to represent India in Test cricket. Interestingly, Natarajan becomes the first left-arm seamer to feature in a Test for India since Zaheer Khan at Wellington in 2013/14). Also, the last left-arm fast-bowler to debut for India was Jaydev Unadkat at Centurion in 2010/11. India vs Australia 4th Test 2021 Day 1 Live Streaming Online on DD Sports, Sony LIV and Sony SIX: Get Free Live Telecast of IND vs AUS on TV, Online and Listen to Live Radio Commentary.
