India skipper Rohit Sharma said they will be following the horses for courses policy for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia and will not go with the same combination for each of the four home Tests.
The Indian team management and touring selector will be facing a selection dilemma with key player Rishabh Pant unavailable following a car accident and a bevy of exciting players lining up to get into the squad.
Pant's absence creates a headache for the Indian team's think tank as they have to decide on a few positions that have opened up -- a middle-order spot and a wicketkeeper (they can combine that into one too).
Sharma said it was going to be a tough call for them to make as some of these players like Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav have been in tremendous form in the last few months in different formats.
"It is going to be a tough one. We know a lot of the guys are in good form, so it is a good sign for the team.
