Because will Rohit Sharma also be available for the first test or not? There is nothing clear on this. In such a situation, who will do the opening? And who will play at number three? This is a big question. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Abhimanyu Easwaran can open There were reports of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill opening in the first test. But after Gill’s injury and in the absence of Rohit Sharma, Abhimanyu Easwaran can now open with Yashasvi Jaiswal. Whereas, KL Rahul can bat at number three.

According to BCCI source, Rahul is completely fit and will play the first test.

BGT 2024-25: “There is a strong need to play practice matches…”, Sanjay Manjrekar expressed concern over India’s current form.
Not having practice matches can make a difference, especially this time because of the form and confidence with which the team is going to Australia – Sanjay Manjrekar Team India & Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Indian team is going to play the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series against Australia from November 22 in Perth. The team is currently working hard for the first Test in Perth. Before the start of the series, it was announced that Team India would not play a single practice match. India had to suffer a humiliating 3-0 defeat against New Zealand in the last Test series. Let us tell you, after 24 years, a team clean-swept India at home. Team India’s form remains a matter of concern due to poor performance in the series against New Zealand. In view of this, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar gave his opinion regarding India’s form and the need for practice matches. Practice matches are decreasing in recent times- Sanjay Manjrekar Before the Test series against Australia, the Indian team was scheduled to play an intra-squad match against India A, but it was cancelled. Sanjay Manjrekar feels that players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would have liked to play some practice matches before the series, especially with the kind of form the team is in right now. The former cricketer also talked about India-A’s struggle against Australia-A despite being in form at home. Sanjay Manjrekar while speaking on ESPNcricinfo said, Not having practice matches could make a difference, especially this time with the kind of form and confidence the team is going into in Australia. The trend in recent times has been that practice matches are becoming less frequent, but on this particular tour we saw India A batsmen struggle despite being in form in Indian conditions. So yes, India was in dire need of playing more practice matches. Sanjay Manjrekar also emphasized on how the Indian team can take advantage of not playing practice matches. The team has often performed better when they have not played many practice matches before the series. India can respond to the fact that the team performed better when they were given fewer practice matches. In the 90s, we played many practice matches and still lost to Australia 0-4. I think the Indian batsmen are getting used to the conditions, but this time there are a lot of young players. “Maybe the previous team didn’t need the experience, but I think we needed some matches here, and I think Virat and Rohit would have liked to play practice matches.”

“Opening is difficult…not that bounce…”, big statement of former Australian cricketer regarding Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi is the second batsman to score the most runs in the World Test Championship cycle. Yashasvi Jaiswal & Brad Haddin (Photo Source: The five-match Test series between India and Australia is starting from November 22, the first match between the two teams will be played in Perth. Team India is touring Australia after a 3-0 defeat in the last Test series against New Zealand. The performance of the batsmen at home against New Zealand has been disappointing, which is a matter of concern. Meanwhile, the former Australian player has warned Team India before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Haddin says that Indian batsmen will not be able to face Australia’s fast bowlers, especially Yashasvi Jaiswal. Brad Haddin said this about Yashvi Jaiswal Brad Haddin says that Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is definitely a good player, but he has not toured Australia before so things will be difficult for him. Let us tell you, Yashasvi is the second batsman to score the most runs in the World Test Championship cycle. He has scored 1407 runs for India in 26 innings, which includes two double centuries. According to Times of India, Brad Haddin while speaking on LisTNR Sport Podcast said, I don’t think Indian batsmen will be able to face our fast bowlers. I know Jaiswal is a really good player, but he hasn’t toured Australia before, so I’m not sure whether he can handle the bounce or not. Opening in Perth is a tough job. India has won the last two Test series in Australia 2-1. The team would like to repeat history this time too, because the team can reach the final of the World Test Championship only by winning four of the upcoming five-match Test series. On the other hand, Australia is keen to defeat India in a Test series for the first time since 2014-15. Take a look at India’s squad for BGT 2024-25- Rohit Sharma (captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar
BGT 2024-25: I have 100 percent confidence that Team India will beat Australia in their own home: Chetan Sharma
The five-match Test series between Team India and Australia is starting from November 22. The first test between these two teams will be played in Perth. Team India (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former fast bowler Chetan Sharma is confident that Team India will definitely defeat Australia in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Let us tell you that the five-match Test series between Team India and Australia is starting from November 22. The first test between these two teams will be played in Perth. The Australia team has not played any Test match since March this year, while Team India recently suffered a 0-3 defeat in the three-match Test series against New Zealand. If Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship 2024-25, then they will have to win the upcoming Test series against Australia by a long margin. Chetan Sharma while talking to Times of India said, ‘I can say 100 percent that Team India will beat Australia in Australia. Under Rohit’s captaincy we will complete the hat-trick of wins in Australia. India will beat Australia once again in their own home. We have beaten Australia twice in a row at their home. The pressure will be on Australia. This pressure will be on Australian captain Pat Cummins and not on Rohit Sharma. Whenever Team India has toured Australia, we have enjoyed a lot. We have praised the game of Team India not only in Australia but also in the tour of South Africa and England. Whenever the players of the opposing team have said that this is going to be a very good series, then we can understand that there will be pressure inside them also. Chetan Sharma presented his side regarding Rohit and Virat Regarding Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, who are struggling with poor form, Chetan Sharma said, ‘We should respect Rohit and Virat. These two are never out of form. We should never use wrong words for both of these. We should be happy that both these players are still performing well and are playing an important role in Team India’s victory every time. I am confident that Virat and Rohit will be seen batting brilliantly in Australia. Let us tell you that, if Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship, then they will have to win the five-match Test series against Australia by 4-0. If Team India fails to do this then it will be very difficult for them to reach the final of this important event.
