This is what worked for India at Perth and with Gabba expected to have some good bounce as well, Deep's line of attack might work for the visitors.
When asked about Rana's performance in Adelaide, and whether the team had considered playing Deep instead, Rohit had said: "Rana didn't do anything wrong in the first Test. Whatever he did, he did well. He gave the team crucial breakthroughs when they needed them. I believe that if someone hasn't done anything wrong, then it can't be done because what confidence does the team have that you give me one match and you give away the other match. This is not good for any player or team. I understand this."
"We should see what the situation is and how helpful the conditions are. But see, judging someone after a match is not the right thing. We always keep the options open for any player to play. We have to win this Test. If we have to make such changes to win this Test, then we will."
Akash is usually pretty accurate and that will allow the team to keep the pressure on Australia for a longer period. The final decision may also depend on how the bowlers shape up in Brisbane. But for now, it looks like Deep has the edge.
Spin tweak? India played Washington Sundar in the first Test and Ravichandran Ashwin in the second. Could it perhaps be time to look at Ravindra Jadeja in the third?
There is very little to choose between the three - they can all bat, but Australia's left-handers have meant that India have leaned towards the off-spinners so far. But Jadeja's fielding and his overall batting form could allow him to add much needed steel to the team.
With spinners not really playing a major role in the series, it may not mean much but Jadeja can sometimes produce magic moments in the field and that alone may be worth his price of admission into the playing XI.
