Shardul Thakur (Photo Source: Twitter) The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 between Australia and India is starting from November 22. The first test match between these two teams will be played at Optus Stadium in Perth. Before the upcoming 5-match Test series, former player Harbhajan Singh has raised questions on the squad of Team India. Harbhajan Singh raised the question as to why brilliant all-rounder Shardul Thakur has been dropped from Team India for the upcoming 5-match Test series against Australia. Let us tell you that in Team India’s squad, there is only Nitish Kumar Reddy as a fast bowling all-rounder and Harbhajan Singh presented his side regarding this. The former player said on Jatin Sapru’s official YouTube channel, ‘You need an all-rounder like Hardik Pandya. Apart from Nitish Kumar Reddy, you have no other option. Where is Shardul Thakur? Where is Hardik Pandya? We are seeing both these players playing only in shorter formats. You need a player like Hardik. In the last two to three years we were investing on Thakur but where is he now? If Nitish Kumar gets one or two wickets, it will be a bonus: Harbhajan Singh Harbhajan Singh further said, ‘You are absolutely asking Nitish Kumar Reddy to bowl in this tour. He can bowl a few overs here like Sourav Ganguly used to do and if the youngster gets one or two wickets, it will be a bonus. Let us tell you that Nitish Kumar Reddy has not played a single match in international Test cricket yet. The upcoming test series will be very challenging for him. If Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship, then it is very important for them to win at least four matches in the upcoming series.

‘There is no place in your team’ Pakistani fans trolling Babar Azam during the second T20 match against Australia

Azam has scored 666 runs in 21 T20I matches played in the year 2024. Babar Azam (Image Credit- Twitter X) In the second T20 match against Australia at Sydney Cricket Ground, some Pakistani fans were seen trolling experienced batsman Babar Azam fiercely. The video trolling Azam is going viral very fast on social media. It is noteworthy that in the 21 T20 International matches played in the year 2024, the 30-year-old player has scored a total of 666 runs at a strike rate of 132.66. Under the captaincy of Babar, Pakistan had to be eliminated from the league stage in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. So now cricket fans have been seen venting their anger on Babar. In the second T20 match against Australia, some fans sitting in the stands were seen trolling Babar fiercely and saying, ‘You don’t get a place in the T20 team.’ Watch this video viral on social media Pakistan fans disrespecting Babar Azam in Sydney. “Teri jagah nahin banti mein T20 team” 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 This is not acceptable at all. He’s our former captain and he’s our pride. Sharam everyone. Stay strong, @babarazam258 — Farid Khan (@_FaridKhan) November 17, 2024 Also, let us tell you that former captain Babar Azam was also dropped from Pakistan’s Test team earlier this year. After a poor performance in the first Test match against England, the team management decided to drop Babar. In place of Babar, Kamran Ghulam was included in the team, who confirmed his place in the Test team by scoring a century in his debut match. This is not a good sign for Babar Azam in red ball cricket. On the other hand, apart from Test, Babar’s bat is not working in T20 also. Babar has been able to score only 6 runs in the two T20 matches played against Australia. So in the ODI series that ended before the T20 series, Babar’s performance was 37, 15* and 28* runs. Apart from this, Babar has also not been included in the Pakistani team for the upcoming white series against Zimbabwe. Now that the Champions Trophy 2025 is very close, and Babar not being able to perform for the Pakistani team in the white ball format, it may become a headache for the PCB in the future.

Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Getty Images) Indian captain Rohit Sharma has recently become a father for the second time. His wife Ritika Sajdeh has given birth to a son. Due to the possibility of the birth of a child, Rohit Sharma did not go to Australia with Team India. Now after the birth of the son, according to reports, Rohit will not be available for the Perth Test, as he will stay with the family. Meanwhile, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly wants Rohit Sharma to leave for the Perth Test as soon as possible.

If I were in his place, I should play the Perth Test. Ganguly said that the match is still a week away. Because this is a big series, he will not go to Australia after this.

Ravi Shastri selected Team India’s playing XI for Perth Test, Easwaran was not given place, one name is shocking

The first Test between India and Australia will be played from 22nd November. Ravi Shastri And Team India (Photo Source: Twitter) The 5-match Border Gavaskar Test series to be played between India and Australia is going to start from November 22. Before the start of this series, the biggest tension for Team India is who will they give a chance in the playing XI. Regular captain Rohit Sharma has become a father for the second time and it seems a bit difficult for him to play in the Perth Test. In such a situation, the biggest question is who will open the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal in place of Rohit Sharma. Apart from this, the team management will also have to think a lot about what will be the bowling attack of India against Australia. Meanwhile, former Team India coach Ravi Shastri has selected the playing XI, after seeing which the task of the Indian team management has become easier to some extent. Team India’s playing XI for Perth test match Under the coaching of Ravi Shastri, India had defeated Australia at home in the last two Border Gavaskar Trophies. In such a situation, his Gurumantra can be useful for Team India. In the absence of Rohit Sharma, India has the option of two opening batsmen in the form of KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran. But Ravi Shastri believes that India should start the innings by promoting Shubman Gill in place of these two. This year, Gill had decided to leave his opening slot and bat at number 3, but now Team India needs him in the opening. Shastri has selected Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal as openers in his playing XI for the Perth Test, while he has given place to KL Rahul at number-3. Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel will be seen handling the responsibility of the middle order along with Virat Kohli. Jurel scored half-centuries in both innings of the last unofficial Test against Australia A. Apart from this, if we talk about bowling options, the former Indian coach has advised India to go with one spinner and four bowlers. Shastri believes that either Ravindra Jadeja or Washington Sundar should play in the Perth Test along with Jasprit Bumrah, Akashdeep, Mohammed Siraj and Nitish Reddy. Ravi Shastri’s playing XI for Perth Test– Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, Ravindra Jadeja/Washington Sundar, Nitish Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj.

Samson tried as opener in T-20 series against Bangladesh Sanju Samson (Photo Source: Getty Images) Wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has recently achieved a big feat in T20I cricket. He achieved the feat of scoring two consecutive T20I centuries for India. But he could not even open his account in the second T20 match against South Africa. Let us tell you that Samson was a part of Team India for the T20 World Cup 2024, but he did not get a chance to play in a single match. After the T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired from T20 International, after which the opening slot became vacant. Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal were considered to open along with Abhishek Sharma in the T20Is, but both Gill and Jaiswal were rested for the T20I series against Bangladesh. Samson was tried as an opener against Bangladesh In such a situation, the team management led by Gautam Gambhir decided to try Sanju Samson as an opener. Samson flopped in the first two T20 matches against Bangladesh, but scored a century in the third match. He also got a chance to open in the ongoing T20I series against South Africa and Sanju maintained his form and scored a century in the first match. Now former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik feels that Samson has confirmed his opening place. He said that Samson has made a lot of technical changes in his batting style and in future he should open with Jaiswal. Samson has cemented his place as an opening batsman – Dinesh Karthik Dinesh Karthik said on Cricbuzz, I think he (Samson) has cemented his place as an opening batsman. Yashasvi Jaiswal and he will remain an opening batsman in the T20 format for at least some time. He has made many technical changes, especially to suit this format. He focused a lot on hitting sixes. He further added that, against Keshav Maharaj, he stepped out but missed the length of the ball. Maharaj beat him in the air, but Sanju held his position and waited for the shot and hit it over cover. He is a guy who doesn’t panic even if he misses the length and grabs that extra second. It’s a very difficult skill, but he does it very well. This is what makes them very special.

Cheteshwar Pujara’s performance in Indian domestic cricket was very good but despite this he has not got a place in Team India. While talking to the media, Robin Uthappa said, ‘We want a defensive player who can play Test cricket brilliantly. At this time, KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran can play this role very well. I think there is still a place for players like Pujara in the Test team. I don’t think anyone else apart from Pujara will be able to take this responsibility. All players want to play positively and aggressively. Everyone looks to score runs at a fast pace. Shubman Gill is also included in this. If you ask him to score runs at a slow pace, he will also not be able to enjoy it. You are taking away their game from them.
