India's Akash Deep has been ruled out of the fifth Test due to a stiff back, while Mitchell Marsh is set to miss for Australia for poor performance. Deep's absence could open up a spot for either Harshit Rana or Prasidh Krishna in the playing XI. India, who trail 1-2 in the series, need to win the final game to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
India Faces Challenges in Final Border-Gavaskar Test
The highly anticipated fifth Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is set to begin on January 17 in Sydney. However, both teams have been dealt significant setbacks due to injuries and poor performances.
India's Injury Concerns
India's pace bowler Akash Deep has been ruled out of the final Test due to a stiff back. Deep's absence leaves a void in India's bowling attack, which has already been weakened by the injuries to Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
The departure of Deep could open up a spot for either Harshit Rana or Prasidh Krishna in the playing XI. Rana was part of the squad for the fourth Test but did not get a chance to play, while Krishna has been in impressive form in domestic cricket.
Australia's Performance Issues
Australia, on the other hand, is grappling with performance concerns. All-rounder Mitchell Marsh has been dropped from the side for the fifth Test after failing to make a significant impact in the previous matches. Marsh, who has struggled with both bat and ball, has been replaced by Cameron Green.
Other Australian players have also underperformed in the series, including captain Tim Paine and opener David Warner. The team's batting has been inconsistent, while their bowling has lacked penetration.
Series Implications
India currently trails 1-2 in the series and needs to win the final game to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Australia, on the other hand, can seal the series victory with a draw.
If India wins the fifth Test, it will be their third consecutive Test series win over Australia. It will also be a significant boost for the team's confidence ahead of the World Test Championship final later this year.
