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.

Due to heavy rain, Virat Kohli had to leave the nets in the end The practice session on Tuesday (November 19) was just a routine training day, but Virat Kohli, who is struggling with poor form, wanted to take full advantage of it. He batted diligently despite the rain, even though the entire team had left the field. However, after some time it started raining heavily, after which Virat also had to leave the nets. Journalist Bharat Sundaresan tweeted on his social media handle and wrote, This seems to be the top-6, based on how they played in the nets before practice was halted due to rain. Virat Kohli did not want to stop batting, the rain had increased in intensity and he had no option but to run away with the rest of the team. Looks even more like this is the top 6 based on how they went in the nets before rain halted practice.

Rahul was injured during the practice session in Perth, but right now he looks in good form and is practicing batting. Devdutt Padikkal can be seen at number-3 in place of injured Shubman Gill. Whereas Virat Kohli will bat at number-4.

Take a look at all the venues of BGT 2024-25, see records and stats of each stadium
Optus Cricket Ground (Photo Source: The upcoming edition of the Border-Gavaskar series is scheduled to start from November 22. The rivalry between these two countries is currently at its highest level and is becoming more intense as Australia has not won a single Test series against India for almost the last 10 years. In contrast, India has recently lost to Australia in the World Test Championship final, ODI World Cup final in 2023. Ahead of the marquee series, many Australian players have expressed their desire to perform well in the series against India. For the visitors, it will be difficult, especially after losing the home Test series to New Zealand at the beginning of the month. Additionally, captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are expected to miss the first Test in Perth. Team India is not the favorite in this series. Here’s a look at all the venues of BGT 2024-25 1. Optus Stadium, Perth – November 22-26 India has played one Test in the new stadium in Perth. In that match, star batsman Virat Kohli scored a century but the visiting team lost the match by 146 runs. This time, they are preparing a pitch suited for fast bowlers and a better bowling order will get the advantage here. Meanwhile, the stadium can host around 60,000 spectators and according to reports, the stadium will be full to capacity during the first Test. Top run-scorer from 2018-19: Marnus Labuschagne (519) Top wicket taker bowler from 2018-19: Nathan Lyon (27) First innings average of the match since 2018-19: 456 Australia since 2018: Matches – 4, Won – 4, Lost – 0 2. Adelaide Oval – December 6-10 (Adelaide Oval) When India last played a Test match in Adelaide, India was out for 36 runs. India’s record on this ground is scary. He will definitely be in the minds of the players playing that match. That too because the Adelaide match will be a day-night test. The Rohit Sharma-led side has played very few pink-ball Tests recently and that is a worrying sign. Meanwhile, India have played 13 Test matches at the Adelaide Oval, winning two and losing eight. Top run-scorer from 2018-19: Marnus Labuschagne (574) Top wicket taker bowler from 2018-19: Mitchell Starc (30) First innings average of the match since 2018-19: 375 Australia since 2018: Matches – 6, Won – 5, Lost – 1 3. The Gabba, Brisbane – December 14-18 (The Gabba Brisbane) India broke Australia’s 32-year winning streak at the Gabba in January 2021. Later, West Indies won there too due to the brilliant bowling of Shamar Joseph. Meanwhile, the Gabba is no longer the ‘fortress’ that Australia claimed for years. However, India has played seven matches in this stadium, winning one and losing five. However, the previous win will boost the confidence of the players and they would like to repeat that performance this time too. Top run-scorer from 2018-19: Marnus Labuschagne (497) Top wicket taker bowler since 2018-19: Pat Cummins (36) First innings average of the match since 2018-19: 227 Australia since 2018: Matches –…
