The first match of the series was played in Perth where Team India registered a resounding victory. Now the second match will be played at Adelaide Oval, which will be a pink ball test and to prepare for that match, Team India is currently playing a warm-up match against Australia Prime Minister’s XI. Rohit Sharma, who did not play the first Test match of the series, is now back in the team and is captaining Team India in this warm-up match. But the biggest headache facing Team India at this time is which playing eleven they would like to take the field with for the Adelaide Test match. Team India has three best options, which include the pair of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal. While one pair is of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jaiswal’s name is everywhere, but between KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma, it has to be decided who will open with him. At the same time, if you look carefully at the team sheet of the pink ball warm-up match, it tells a different story, where Rohit Sharma is included in the team as a middle order batsman and not an opener. AUS vs IND: KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal can open in the warm up match Team India is playing a pink ball warm-up match against Prime Minister’s XI in Canberra. One day of this match was washed out due to rain. In such a situation, a 50-50 over match is being organised, in which Indian captain Rohit Sharma has won the toss and chosen to bowl. The team sheet that has come out during this period. In it, the names of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal are not there as openers, but Rohit Sharma. Actually, Rohit Sharma’s name is at number five in the team sheet for the warm-up match. In Perth, Devdutt Padikkal played at number three and Dhruv Jurel, who played at number 6, is at number seven. KL and Yashasvi are in the list as openers, while Shubman Gill’s name is at number three and Virat Kohli’s name is at number four. If we look at this list, the opener is not Rohit Sharma. However, when the second innings comes, it will be known whether Rohit Sharma will open or play in the middle order.
IPL 2025: Jitesh Sharma beats Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer in the matter of fee increase in mega auction, read big news
RCB bought Jitesh for Rs 11 crore in the mega auction. Jitesh Sharma (Photo Source: Twitter) On 24th and 25th November of this month, the mega auction for IPL 2025 was seen in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. All the 10 franchises involved in this mega auction spent a total of Rs 383 crore to buy 120 players. Indian fast bowler Arshdeep Singh was the first player to be sold in this auction. Arshdeep was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 18 crore. So in this auction, star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has become the most expensive player to be sold in the history of IPL. Pant was bought by Lucknow Super Giants for a huge amount of Rs 27 crores. So Shreyas Iyer was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 26.75 crore. However, in this mega auction, Indian wicketkeeper batsman Jitesh Sharma has left behind players like Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer in terms of salary increase percentage. Let us tell you that in this auction, Jitesh had kept his base price at Rs 2 crore, but in the IPL 2024 season, his salary was Rs 20 lakh and he was seen playing for Punjab Kings. But in this mega auction, Jitesh was added to the IPL 2016 season’s runner-up Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by paying a huge amount of Rs 11 crore. So this is a 5500 percent increase in Jitesh’s IPL salary. This increase has not been seen in the salary of any IPL player yet. Jitesh will play the role of finisher in RCB in IPL 2025 Let us tell you that Jitesh Sharma made his IPL debut for Punjab Kings in IPL 2022. So in the next two years the player’s strike rate was 163 and 156. However, IPL 2024 was a forgettable one for the player. Last season, he was able to score only 187 runs at a meager strike rate of 131. So after the retirement of Dinesh Karthik, RCB has included Jitesh in the team as a finisher.

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.
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.

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.

I am confident that Virat and Rohit will be seen batting brilliantly in Australia.
