India vs Australia 1st Test: Team India’s young batsman Shubman Gill will not be available for the first Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. On the second day of India’s simulated training match, Gill slipped while catching a ball and fractured his thumb. According to ESPNcricinfo, Gill is gearing up for the second Test match starting on December 6. India’s problems have worsened after Gill’s injury. Now he has to change his batting order. On the other hand, regular captain Rohit Sharma will not play the first Test after the birth of his second child. Jasprit Bumrah will replace him to lead the Indian team. There are now two open spots in the Indian team. One for the opening and the other for the third. Three players are strong contenders for these two spots in the Indian Test squad for the Australia tour.
Easwaran may have a chance to open
Abhimanyu Easwaran has made a huge mark in domestic cricket, opening for the India A team on the tour of Australia. He is yet to make his debut for Team India. The 29-year-old scored 7674 runs in 101 first-class matches, including 27 centuries. Apart from this, he scored 3847 points in 88 Group A games.
