A green pitch has been prepared for the first Test and due to rain the pitch remained under cover for a long time, which may cause further problems for the batsmen. In such a situation, bowlers will be seen playing an important role. Know about Australia’s possible playing 11- Nathan McSweeney can be seen opening with Usman Khawaja in the first Test match against India. He scored 166 runs in 4 innings at an average of 55 in the unofficial test match against India A. McSweeney may get a chance to debut during the Perth Test. Australia’s middle order is strong with Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh. The fast bowling unit looks good with captain Pat Cummins, Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Marsh. If needed, the team can use Marnus Labuschagne as the fifth fast bowler. Whereas, if we talk about spin, Nathan Lyon will play an important role. Australia’s playing 11: Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Alex Carey (wk), Mitchell Marsh, Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon.
Neither Jadeja nor Sundar, this spinner will get a chance in Perth Test, increased tension of Kangaroo batsmen
The Indian team can go with only one spinner in the Perth Test. Team India (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Border-Gavaskar Trophy begins on November 22, where the first of the series will be played at the Optus Stadium in Perth. A big update has come out regarding this test match. Actually, Team India’s off-spinner R Ashwin may get a chance in the first test match. Why could this happen? We also tell you the reason behind this. In fact, Australia has many left-handed batsmen in its batting line-up and their record against left-arm spinners has been quite good. Usman Khawaja, Travis Head and Alex Carey are the three big players who are expected to play a key role in the high-voltage five-match Test series. In such a situation, Ashwin can prove effective against him. R Ashwin may get a chance in Perth test match Ashwin’s record is also good against Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne. Apart from this, he can also trouble the young batsman Nathan McSweeney. This is why Ashwin is expected to get a chance before Sundar and Jadeja. Whereas, if we talk about fast bowling, Mohammad Siraj will be seen with Jasprit Bumrah. The third pacer could be Akash Deep or the famous Krishna. All-rounder Nitish Reddy can be given a chance as the fourth fast bowler, who will provide strength in batting along with pace bowling. However, not giving a chance to Jadeja and Ashwin may weaken Team India’s batting because Jadeja and Sundar can bat better than Ashwin. Let us tell you that the pitches of Australia are not that favorable for spinners. If we take a look at Ashwin’s record in Australia, in 10 Test matches, the Tamil Nadu spinner has taken 39 wickets at an average of 42.15, which is his second lowest average in any particular country. From this you can imagine how difficult it becomes for the spinners to take wickets there.

Jaiswal increased Rohit’s tension, struggled against the fast bowler in the nets, had a long conversation with Virat
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli (Photo Source: X) Yashasvi Jaiswal struggled against the pacers in the nets on Sunday, September 15, ahead of the start of India’s first Test against Bangladesh. The Test match will be played at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Seeing Yashasvi Jaiswal struggling in the nets, former captain Virat Kohli and head coach Gautam Gambhir had a word with the youngster to help him regain his confidence. Let us tell you that Jaiswal failed to make an impact in the first class match in the current season as well. In the Duleep Trophy match, he returned to the pavilion cheaply on the balls of Avesh Khan and Khalil Ahmed. Before the match against Bangladesh in Chennai, Jaiswal practiced a lot against Bumrah. However, he looked troubled against net bowlers like Simarjit Singh, Gurnur Brar and Gurjanpreet Singh along with Bumrah. The ball took the outside edge of his bat many times. Yashasvi Jaiswal got bowled by Jasprit Bumrah in the nets According to a report in the Indian Express, Kohli was standing near the centre-square of the MA Chidambaram Stadium waiting for his turn to bat, where this incident took place. During this time, Jasprit Bumrah bowled Jaiswal by uprooting his middle stump in the nets. The ball hit the stump between Jaiswal’s bat and pad. After this, Jaiswal was seen talking to Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli was probably telling this young player about his shortcomings. Kohli and Jaiswal batted for about an hour in the net session. During this, Bumrah also troubled Kohli. Kohli, however, played some brilliant cover and on drives. Jaiswal looked comfortable against spin bowlers. Still, during the practice session, Jaiswal’s confidence seemed to be shaken and he was not able to adjust to the swing and bounce. However, he used his feet well against the spinners and hit some brilliant square cuts. After this, Rishabh Pant, who came for practice, did not hesitate to play aggressive shots while batting against left-arm spinners. Indian players also did fielding practice during this time, in which priority was given to the practice of catching catches in the slips.
Duleep Trophy 2024: The poor form of Pant, Jaiswal, Iyer and Sarfaraz increased the tension of captain Rohit
Some big players of Team India failed in Duleep Trophy 2024 today. (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The Indian team has to play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh from September 19 this month. The squad for that series can be announced next week after seeing the performance of the first phase of Duleep Trophy 2024. But before the start of the series, Indian star players have increased the tension of Team India including captain Rohit Sharma. Actually, before the India vs Bangladesh Test series, Indian players are participating in the Duleep Trophy. Before the series against Bangladesh, Indian players will prepare themselves for the red ball format by playing in the Duleep Trophy 2024. But in the very first round of the Duleep Trophy, the performance of many Indian players was very disappointing. From Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant to Shreyas Iyer, many players could not shine with the bat during this period. Duleep Trophy 2024: Team India’s star players flopped with the bat on the first day Yashasvi Jaiswal India B opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was able to score only 30 runs with the help of 6 fours in 59 balls in the first innings against India A. He was sent back to the pavilion by right-arm fast bowler Khalil Ahmed. He got a good start in this match, it seemed that he would play a big innings, but he failed to do so. Sarfraz Ahmed Sarfaraz Khan, who made it to the Indian team for the Test series against England, also failed today. Sarfaraz is also a part of India B and he could score only 9 runs off 35 balls against India A. He was LBWed by Avesh Khan. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether he gets a place in the team for the upcoming Test series or not. Right now, before him, senior players like Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer are ready to return to the team. Rishabh Pant Another batsman of India B, Rishabh Pant also disappointed the team and Indian fans. After the car accident, Pant has been seen playing T20 and ODIs so far, but he has not been able to return to Tests. Pant was able to score only 7 runs with the help of 1 four in 10 balls against India A. He was made his victim by Akashdeep. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma would like Pant to return to form before the Bangladesh series. Shreyas Iyer Another batsman who failed to play a big innings today is Shreyas Iyer. Right-handed middle order batsman Shreyas Iyer, who is trying to make a comeback in the Test team, disappointed everyone. He is the captain of India D. Iyer became the victim of Vijay Kumar on a personal score of 9. It is very difficult to say whether he will be able to make a comeback in India’s Test team after this performance or not.
