India vs Australia Test: The great test match between India and Australia is about to begin. The first match of the five-Test series will be played at Perth’s historic ground on November 22. To this end, preparations for both teams have been basically completed. This series is important for both teams as this series will decide which two teams will face each other in next year’s World Test Championship final. Meanwhile, the big question is who will be India’s warrior and who will play against Australia in the first match.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul are in charge of the opening
BCCI has selected a total of 18 players for this series. But only 11 people have a chance. Judging from the news that has leaked so far, eight of the 11 players in the Indian team have been basically confirmed. It’s unclear if the other three players will get opportunities. As far as these seven players are concerned, their positions appear to have been confirmed, including the starting pairing. In the absence of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul is likely to open the batting alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel are also sure to feature.
Apart from Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal’s name also seems to have been confirmed. Shubman Gill will miss the first match due to injury, in which case Devdutt Padikkal will be available. Devdutt Padikkal played his only Test match against England in March this year and now the possibility of his comeback is starting to emerge. This means that India’s top four spots are almost confirmed. There doesn’t seem to be much potential for change in this regard. In addition to this, teams can play with two goalkeepers. These include the names of Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel. However, Pant will have custody responsibility. If we talk about Jurel, he will be a batsman. This means Sarfaraz’s death seems certain.
Ravichandran Ashwin to be seen alongside Jasprit Bumrah
As far as the bowling attack is concerned, Jasprit Bumrah will definitely be among them. He was chosen as vice-captain for the series and therefore had to captain the first Test in Rohit’s absence as well. Apart from this, the Indian team can only field one spinner on the pitch in Perth. Although the team has three excellent spinners in Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, there is news at the same time Says Ashwin will lead the way, meaning he can be part of the starting XI. Apart from bowling, he can also provide some support in batting. It will be very interesting to see what other combinations the team will enter this space with.
