Jasprit Bumrah is going to captain India in the absence of Rohit Sharma. What will be the playing 11 of Team India in Perth Test? Fans are very excited to know this. There is pressure among the fans as well as the players regarding this series, because the team had to face 0-3 defeat at home against New Zealand in the last Test series. Meanwhile, former Indian coach Rahul Dravid says that if two of India’s top-4 batsmen score runs then the team will have a big chance of victory. He also emphasized that Shubman Gill is an excellent player and he will be seen performing brilliantly at number 3. Shubman Gill is a great player- Rahul Dravid Shubman Gill made his Test debut for India as an opener in BGT 2020-21 against Australia. Gill played two half-century innings in three matches in the debut series. He played a brilliant inning of 91 runs in the Gabba Test, which played a big role in India’s historic run chase (328). India won that series 2-1 Shubman Gill has been seen batting at number 3 in Tests for India since last year. He was seen struggling in the beginning, but his average in 25 innings is 42. Rahul Dravid while speaking on ESPNCricinfo said, They have Shubman Gill, who is a fantastic player. Last time he had some great successes in Australia. Everyone talks about Rishabh’s 80 (89) and rightly so, but I think Shubman scored 91 to set up the game on that fifth morning. He’s a great player, he’s a great kid, and he’s learning. He bats a little differently from me and Pujara, but still he is a very, very good player. Gill suffered a thumb injury during practice at the WACA Ground before the Perth Test against Australia. According to reports, he has a fracture in his thumb and he may be out of the first test. Devdutt Padikkal can replace Gill in the playing 11.

(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.

Shubman Gill clearly doesn’t have experience playing spinners: Sanjay Manjrekar
Gill has been able to score only 53 runs in two innings of the Pune test match against New Zealand. Shubman Gill (Photo Source: Sanjay Manjrekar blamed India’s batting against spin bowling for their defeat in the three-match Test series against New Zealand. The Tom Latham-led side took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series by winning the second Test in Pune on Saturday, October 26. Manjrekar said that if the Indian top order had more confidence, flexibility and strength to defend against the spinners, India could have chased down the target of 359 runs in the fourth innings. He also said that Gill clearly does not have the experience of playing spinners. Sanjay Manjrekar gave a big statement Let us tell you that after India’s defeat in the Pune Test match, Sanjay Manjrekar quoted ESPN Cricinfo as saying – When Yashasvi and Shubman were going to bat together, I thought there would be a surprise. Shubman Gill clearly does not have experience with spinners. A batsman who can work with his footwork effortlessly is clearly under pressure when he plays spinners on turning pitches. Manjrekar further said- Virat Kohli once again failed to understand the length. The ball was fuller than he expected and came back to him quickly. Rohit Sharma was not full of confidence at the crease. There are a lot of players, three out of the top four lacked confidence against spin. On such pitches, you see that it is difficult to bat against spin in the first one and a half sessions. I think if India had strengthened its defense technology a little more, things could have been easier. Had India not lost so many wickets early, with Rishabh Pant, Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja in the side, this match could have been much closer.
After Gill and Rohit, Pant also returned to the pavilion, Jaiswal became the victim of spinner after scoring 77 runs.

The host did not have such a good start in this match and Rohit Sharma was out after scoring 8 runs. Shubman Gill also failed to score big and returned to the pavilion after scoring 23 runs. The best thing about Yashasvi Jaiswal was that he handled one end brilliantly and played aggressive shots consistently. After Yashasvi Jaiswal, inform wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant was also out without opening the account. Rishabh Pant was run out due to his own mistake.

After this New Zealand scored 255 runs in its second innings. So far, Mitchell Santner has taken the first three wickets for New Zealand.

IND vs NZ: Rahul or Sarfaraz or Gill? Who will get a chance in the Pune test match? Know here
IND vs NZ (Photo Source: Getty Images) India vs New Zealand 2nd Test Probable Playing XI: The second match of the ongoing series between India and New Zealand will be played in Pune from October 24. For this, both the teams are preparing vigorously. After losing the first match of the series, now Team India can enter this match with a new strategy. In such a situation, it is quite possible that there may be some changes in the playing XI of Team India in the next match. However, looking at the way things are unfolding, it is difficult to guess how many changes Team India will make for this match. Let us tell you that after Team India’s defeat in the first Test in Bengaluru, the selection committee of BCCI suddenly included Washington Sundar in the squad of the Indian team. IND vs NZ: Washington Sundar may get a chance in the third test match Although the team had already been announced for three matches, many people did not understand why this change was made. It is believed that New Zealand has many left-handed batsmen, so Sundar can prove to be very effective against them. Along with bowling, he also bats well. In such a situation, it would not be a big deal if Sundar gets a chance in the playing eleven in place of Kuldeep Yadav. Talking about the second change, Shubman Gill could not play the first match of the series. He was injured at that time. Now it is being told that he is completely fit. If he comes in the playing XI then whose place will he come in? Sarfaraz Khan had played a brilliant inning of 150 runs, but still he may have to sit out again. In such a situation, KL Rahul can be seen playing the next match. Captain Rohit Sharma has already said that he wants to give some more time to Rahul. Although Sarfaraz Khan had batted brilliantly in the last match, so in such a situation KL Rahul may also have to sit out. Now it will be interesting to see what changes they bring to their team for the other test matches.

On the first day of the first Test between India and New Zealand, Anil Kumble told the broadcaster, ‘Shubman Gill is a talented player. He also has the ability. He has been to Australia before also. He scored a brilliant half-century in Brisbane and Shubman Gill knows the situation there very well. Gill can be seen playing an important role in Australia: Anil Kumble The former spinner further said, ‘I don’t want to let it change. If Rohit is unavailable in the first test then Shubman Gill can be sent to open. But there is also KL Rahul in the team who can be seen doing wicketkeeping along with opening. Rahul Dravid had done this earlier and now KL Rahul is also doing the same. Gill can be seen playing an important role in Australia. I only want him to be seen batting at number three. The best thing about Gill is that his performance against Australia has been excellent and he knows the conditions there very well.
