Because will Rohit Sharma also be available for the first test or not? There is nothing clear on this. In such a situation, who will do the opening? And who will play at number three? This is a big question. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Abhimanyu Easwaran can open There were reports of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill opening in the first test. But after Gill’s injury and in the absence of Rohit Sharma, Abhimanyu Easwaran can now open with Yashasvi Jaiswal. Whereas, KL Rahul can bat at number three. Let us tell you, Rahul also got injured during practice. Rahul suffered a right elbow injury during a center wicket match simulation on 15 November, after which he did not even bat. According to BCCI source, Rahul is completely fit and will play the first test.

In fact, batsman Shubman Gill got his finger injured while fielding in the slips during a match simulation in Perth on Saturday (16 November). A source close to the development confirmed Gill’s injury, but it is too early to say whether he will be ruled out of the first Test match. The first match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy will start from November 22 in Perth. Shubman Gill got injured before Perth Test The source said, “Yes, Shubman Gill is injured but it is too early to rule him out of the initial Test. The medical team is keeping a close eye on him. A source was quoted by Times of India.com as saying, “Virat Kohli is absolutely fine. He batted in the match simulation without any problem and even found the ball in the net after getting out. There is nothing to worry about.” Let us tell you that KL Rahul also got injured during practice. Rahul suffered a right elbow injury during a center wicket match simulation on 15 November, after which he did not even bat. Virat Kohli was also worried about the injury, but after the scan he was found absolutely fine. Rohit Sharma may miss the first test match Let us tell you, it is not yet clear whether Indian captain Rohit Sharma will be a part of the first test or not. If Rohit does not play, KL Rahul may get the responsibility of opening. At the same time, Shubman Gill plays at number three, so both these players are the most important members of the team. It is very important for the team to remain fit for both these players. The Indian squad in Perth has been working in the nets and now match simulation for the last two days. The Indian cricket team was scheduled to play a practice match, but the management decided against it and felt that a match simulation on center wicket would be ideal practice.

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.
