Australia suffered a major setback before the fourth Test in Brisbane. Will Pukowski, who made his Test debut in Sydney, has been ruled out of the Fourth Test due to a shoulder injury. Cricket dot com said that Captain Tim Paine confirmed this when he was informed about the incident. Pukowski will be replaced by Marcus Harris. Will Pukowski suffered this injury while fielding in the third Test, after which he was forced to leave the field.

The four-Test series is still 1-1 and the fourth Test in Brisbane will determine the outcome of the series. In the Sydney Test match, Hanuma Vihari and Ravichandran Ashwin batted for three and a half hours to stand in front of the winner and Australian bowler. However, the constant injury of the players before the fourth Test is a big concern for Team India. Ravindra Jadeja and Hanuma Vihari will not be available for the Fourth Test after being injured in the Sydney Test. At the same time, Jaspreet Bumrah and Ashwin are still skeptical about their fitness.

More than half of India’s team has been injured on this tour, so landing 11 fully fit players in Brisbane will not be a big challenge for skipper Ajinkya Rahane. Rahane has led the team spectacularly since Virat Kohli’s paternity leave. Under his captaincy, the team returned to the series and won the Boxing-Day Test in Melbourne. Moreover, the team managed to postpone the defeat in Sydney. The decision to send Rishabh Pant over Hanuma Vihara in the third Test proved to be a good fit for Rahane and his team.
