Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma is all set to make a comeback after an injury he suffered during Dream11 IPL 2020 in the UAE and the swashbuckling opener will assume the role of Ajinkya Rahane's deputy taking over the duties from Cheteshwar Pujara.

According to the India vs Australia 2021 schedule, the India vs Australia 3rd Test will start on Thursday, January 7 in Sydney.

However, the Test is set to go forward as planned on Thursday and the venue which was due to operate at 50% of its usual 48,000 capacity on each day, will now be reduced to 25% as announced by Cricket Australia on Monday.
