In the unavailability of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah will be seen captaining the Indian team in the first Test. Rohit Sharma’s performance has been quite ordinary for some time now. He has batted very well in some matches but has not been able to leave his mark in important matches. However, it is very important for him to perform well in the upcoming series against Australia. Not only this, in the absence of Rohit Sharma in the first test, Virat Kohli and the rest of the Indian batsmen will have to play their roles very well and score important runs for the team. Team India is fully prepared for Perth Test For quite some time now, Team India players have been seen practicing vigorously in Perth. He had performed tremendously in Australia in the last two series and registered victory against the hosts. Now once again the team will have to perform brilliantly.

ICC T20I Ranking: Hardik Pandya becomes number one all-rounder, takes huge leap after South Africa series
Hardik Pandya’s performance in the T20 against South Africa was decent. Hardik Pandya (Photo Source: Insta) The International Cricket Council (ICC) released the latest rankings of T20 players on Wednesday. India’s star all-rounder Hardik Pandya has got a huge boost in the rankings after the four-match T20 series against South Africa. Hardik has once again become the number-1 T20 all-rounder. He reached the top leaving behind England’s Liam Livingstone and Nepal’s Dipendra Singh Ari. Hardik currently has 244 rating points. England all-rounder Liam Livingstone has slipped to third position with 230 points. Nepal’s Deependra Airi (230) is at second position. Hardik had played an unbeaten inning of 39 runs in the second T20 against South Africa. He took two wickets in the series. India won that series 3-1. In this series, Hardik performed well with the ball, but he did not get that many opportunities in batting. Sanju Samson also got advantage in T20I ranking Surya has suffered a loss of one place in the latest ranking of batsmen. He is at fourth position with 788 marks. Babar is at fifth position with 742 points. Wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has also benefited tremendously after the South Africa series. He has made a huge jump of 17 places and reached 22nd position. He scored centuries in the first and fourth matches against South Africa. There has also been a reshuffle in the ranking of T20 bowlers. Australian bowlers Adam Zampa (693) and Nathan Ellis (628) have come at third and 11th positions respectively. Australia recently whitewashed Pakistan in the three-match T20 series. India’s fast bowler Arshdeep Singh (656) has moved up three places to ninth position. On the basis of his performance against South Africa, he has achieved the new highest rating of his career.
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.
To say that Rohit Sharma is finished and Virat Kohli is no longer good is absolutely ridiculous: Mike Hussey
Rohit and Virat scored 91 and 93 runs respectively in the three-match T29 series against New Zealand. Mike Hussey (Image Credit- Twitter X) Before the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) between India and Australia (IND vs AUS) starting from November 22, there is a continuous discussion about the form of senior batsmen Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. In the recently concluded three-match Test series against New Zealand, Rohit and Virat scored 91 and 93 runs respectively. India also had to face 3-0 defeat in the series. After such performances by the current captain and the former captain, the Indian management has been forced to think about the future of both the players in the longest format of the game. On the other hand, amidst all this, a big statement of former Australian cricketer Mike Hussey has come out. Hussey says that it is absolutely ridiculous for cricket pundits to say that Rohit Sharma is finished and Virat Kohli is no longer good. Mike Hussey gave a big statement In a recent conversation with Times of India before the start of BGT, Mike Hussey said – We have seen champion players being dropped from the team many times. Cricket pundits come out and say that Rohit Sharma is finished and Virat Kohli is no longer good. I mean, it’s absolutely ridiculous. He is a legend and a great player. He is a player to be proud of. Hussey further said- If you dismiss them, you will end up having a negative impact on your face, because they will perform well again. They’re so good you don’t want to do that. I think it is foolish to write him off and also to write off the Indian team. Well, now it will be worth watching how these two great players are going to perform against Australia in Australia? However, due to the birth of his second child, captain Rohit will not be able to take part in the first Test match to be held in Perth.

This news gives a brief description of the incidents which made headlines in the cricket world today. (Image Credit- Instagram) 1) “That was the most difficult pitch in his Test cricket career”, Virat told Perth Test century as his favorite, not Adelaide. During the headshot in Australia, Mohammed Siraj asked Virat, ‘Which ground and which knock is your best in Australia?’ To this, Virat replied, ‘My best knock in Australia was the century played in Perth in 2018-19. I think that was the most difficult pitch on which I played in my Test cricket career. In 2018-19, India had captured the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2-1 in Australia. 2) Team India announced for AUS series, Shafali Verma dropped
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.
“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.
