BGT 2024-25: Before BGT, photo of Mitchell Starc practicing with a special ball went viral.
Border-Gavaskar Trophy will start from 22nd November Mitchell Starc (Image Credit- Twitter X) Before the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series between Australia and India (AUS vs IND), Australian team fast bowler Mitchell Starc has made headlines. It is noteworthy that the first match of this series will be played at Perth Stadium from 22nd November. So, before this match, in a practice session of the Australian team, Starc was seen practicing with a special kind of ball. The ball with which Starc is practicing is red on one side and white on the other. According to cricket experts, this type of ball helps the bowler a lot in maintaining hand-eye balance. By practicing with this type of ball, Starc can gain control over the late movement swing in the match. The pitch curator of Perth Stadium recently said that some grass is expected to be left on the pitch, due to which the fast bowlers can prove to be effective in the match. See this photo of Mitchell Starc viral on the internet Mitchell Starc was seen using a ball that was half red and half white to assist batters in practicing for lateral movement. 📷: Rev Sportz pic.twitter.com/JaKOsHrSMq — SportsTiger (@The_SportsTiger) November 18, 2024 On the other hand, if the latest media reports are to be believed, then Indian batsmen may face a lot of trouble due to late movement bowling at the end of the first Test match to be held in Perth. Perhaps this is the reason why Starc is practicing with a special type of ball before this match to take advantage of this weakness of India. However, this move by Australia could serve as a double-edged sword, as the current Indian team has a lot of bowlers who can work their magic in swing conditions. So if we tell you about Starc’s performance in Test cricket in the year 2024, he has bowled in 10 innings, in which he has taken a total of 27 wickets at an average of 32.25 and strike rate of 49.60. Apart from this, his average in Test cricket against the Indian team is 35.84. However, now it will be worth watching whether Starc is able to reduce his average against Team India in the upcoming series or not?
Rohit Sharma or Shubman Gill, know whom India will miss more in the first BGT 2024-25 Test?
The first match of the BGT series will be played at Perth Stadium from 22nd November. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Indian cricket team is going to face Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) Test series in very challenging conditions. It is noteworthy that the first match of the BGT series is going to be played in Perth from 22nd November. However, Rohit Sharma will not be able to participate in this match due to the birth of his wife Ritika’s second child. So recently the news is coming that if Shubman Gill, who got injured during the practice session before the first Test match to be held in Perth, is not completely fit, then he can also be out of this match. This is not a good sign for Team India before the start of the much-awaited series. Well, today in this article we are going to tell you according to statistics, who is Team India going to miss more between Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill in the first test match? Bumrah will take command of Team India in Rohit’s absence In place of Rohit Sharma, vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah will be seen taking charge of Team India. Whereas Abhimanyu Easwaran may get a chance in place of Rohit. However, the management has also kept Devdutt Padikkal, who opened for India A, with the team in Australia. Whereas wicketkeeper KL Rahul was also seen opening in the unofficial test match against Australia A this month. Which has indicated that any two of these three players are going to open for Team India. Well, the absence of both Gill and Rohit is troubling Team India, but Rohit not playing in the Perth Test match is more troubling for Team India. Rohit is very experienced and the way he gives India balance in the top order with his skillful batting, hardly anyone can do that. But Rohit’s average of just 31 abroad may definitely worry the fans a bit. However, Gill has also opened for Team India in Test cricket. The last time Team India achieved a historic win in the year 2020-21, Gill was a part of Team India. Gill played a match-winning inning of 91 runs in a pressurized situation at Gabba. Apart from this, in 6 innings played in Australia, Gill has scored 259 runs with the help of 2 half-centuries. Apart from this, his average is 51, which looks much better than Rohit.
‘Let him fail first’ Sourav Ganguly on inclusion of young Sarfaraz in the Indian team during BGT
BGT series starting from 22nd November Sourav Ganguly and Sarfaraz Khan (Image Credit- Twitter Former Indian cricket team captain Sourav Ganguly has recently said that passing judgment on the batting ability of young Sarfaraz Khan without giving him a chance abroad is no less than an injustice against the young player. Ganguly also said that critics should make some assumptions after his performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series. It is noteworthy that the 27-year-old player, after a record breaking performance in domestic cricket, made a brilliant debut against England at the beginning of the year. Recently, in the Bengaluru Test match against New Zealand, Sarfaraz scored a debut century, but in the two matches that followed, he could not show anything special. Sourav Ganguly gave a big statement On the other hand, now before the start of BGT, the former captain while talking to RevSportz about Sarfaraz Khan said – You have to give a chance to know him, how can you say anything without giving him a chance? First let him fail, he has scored a lot of runs in domestic cricket and has made his place in the team, no one has given him a chance. Ganguly further said- So, do not dismiss him without giving him a chance, once you do, you will be in a position to assess him. I am very clear, you should give him a chance to know how good or bad he is, without doing so, do not make any judgment about him. On the other hand, if we tell you about the BGT series, Team India is the defending champion of the trophy. The series will start with the first Test match to be held in Perth on 22 November. However, due to personal reasons, Rohit will not be able to play in the first Test match. It will be worth seeing that in the middle order, whom among Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel does the management give a chance in the playing eleven?

However, for your information, let us tell you that the 36-year-old experienced player is currently struggling with poor form in red ball cricket.

This is the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and we know Virat always steps up in Australia and takes on that challenge completely like almost no one else has. I am really worried for the Australian cricket team that he (Kohli) is going to come out and score some runs.

BGT 2024-25: ‘No debate, he will have to play’ Sourav Ganguly on R Ashwin playing in Perth Test match
BGT series starting from 22nd November Sourav Ganguly and R Ashwin (Image Credit- Twitter The Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) Test series is starting with the first Test match to be held in Perth on 22 November. Optus Stadium pitch curator Isaac McDonald has said that leaving 10 mm of grass on the pitch will provide a lot of pace and bounce. As a result, both sides are expected to field a high number of fast bowlers in their squad to win the match. Keeping this in mind, the role of a traditional spinner in the match becomes minimal. It is understandable that India might stick to Ravindra Jadeja for his all-round abilities in the Perth Test, but former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has advised India head coach Gautam Gambhir not to drop R Ashwin from the playing eleven. Has warned. Sourav Ganguly gave a big statement Before the first Test match to be held in Perth, Sourav Ganguly was quoted by NDTV as saying – There is no debate, Ashwin should play. Your best spinner must play. Specialists play in Test cricket. Also, considering the number of left-handed batsmen in the Australian team, Ashwin is sure to have an impact in the match. Ganguly further said- Yes, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar bat well there, but you should play with your best spinner in the first Test match. My preference is that you play with your specialist batsmen and bowlers, Ashwin is my choice in the match.

“I will be very surprised if he does not score runs in BGT”- Ganguly said on Virat’s poor form.
I will be surprised if Virat does not score runs in Australia- Sourav Ganguly Sourav Ganguly and Virat Kohli. (Photo Source: Twitter) In the last few years, the performance of Team India’s legendary batsman Virat Kohli in Test cricket has not been that good. His form remains a matter of tension for Team India. India has to play the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar series against Australia from 22nd November and if India has to perform well in this series, it is very important for Virat to be in form. Virat’s performance in Australia so far has been excellent and it is expected that in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Virat will regain his lost form in Test cricket. Earlier in the three-day intra squad match, Virat had come out to bat twice on the first day and now he will be desperate to score runs in this series. Sourav Ganguly Sourav Ganguly gave a big statement on Virat Kohli’s form Former Team India cricketer and BCCI Chief Sourav Ganguly has said that he will be very surprised if Virat is not able to score runs in this Test series. In an interview given to RevSports, when Sourav Ganguly was asked about Virat Kohli’s form, he said, ‘He is a champion player, his ODI figures are better, his 2014 series was dangerous, his record in Australia has been strong. . He has about 6 test centuries in Australia. We have to admit that he is not getting younger with time. The game is different at the age of 28-29, 30 and it is different at the age of 36-37. But he will be ready for this series, he knows he has been successful here, his game is still great and there is no doubt about that and the most important thing is that he will be playing on good pitches. The wicket will be fast, there will be pace on it, there will be bounce, there will be seam movement with the Kookaburra ball. So this will be a good series for him and I will be very surprised if this series is not good for him. Five Test matches is a lot, I think this series will be very good for him.
