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.

The form of Rohit and Virat remains a matter of concern for the team before the upcoming Test series against Australia. Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Getty Images) Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had disappointing performances in the Test series against New Zealand, scoring 91 and 93 runs respectively in the series. The form of both the senior players remains a matter of concern for the team before the upcoming Test series against Australia. Meanwhile, former Indian opener K Srikkanth has advised Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to spend some time at the crease before scoring runs. Virat will not face any problem with Australian pitches – K Srikanth K Srikanth believes that even though Virat has not played much big innings in the last few matches, he will not be troubled by the bounce provided by the Australian pitches. According to Times of India, K Srikanth said, “The best thing about Virat is his determination and hunger to achieve more. The bounce provided by Australian pitches is not something that should bother Virat. , The former player has asked Rohit Sharma to be more cautious. Recently, Rohit has had to struggle against fast bowlers. In the series against New Zealand, fast bowlers took his wicket four times out of 6. Srikanth also believes that Rohit’s signature pull shot can also become his weakness. The way he was in a hurry to mistime his favorite pull-shot. Even if you are an aggressive opening batsman, it is important to give yourself a little more time in the middle, especially in Australia. In Australia your strength can sometimes become your weakness. Rohit just needs to be a little careful.” India’s squad for BGT 2024-25- Rohit Sharma (captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar IND vs AUS: Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test Series Schedule First Test- 22-26 November, Perth, 7:50 am (Indian time) Second Test- 6-10 December, Adelaide, 9:30 am (Indian time) Third Test- 14-18 December, Brisbane, 9:30 am (Indian time) Fourth Test- 26-30 December, Melbourne, 5:00 am (Indian time) Fifth Test- 3-7 January, Sydney, 5:00 am (Indian time)
“Rohit is a great captain” – His friends came out in support of Hitman
India has lost the Test series against New Zealand under the captaincy of Rohit. Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) The Indian team is currently trailing 2-0 in the three-match Test series against New Zealand. India had to face defeat in the home Test series after 12 years. After the loss of this Test series, Rohit Sharma’s captaincy is continuously being criticized. In such a situation, Shikhar Dhawan has come forward in support of Rohit and shown sympathy. Rohit Sharma’s friend and former opening partner Shikhar Dhawan does not consider New Zealand’s defeat as a matter of concern. Dhawan believes that it is unfair to question Rohit after losing just one series. He told India Today, “We do not feel the pressure you are talking about. Although there is pressure in the game, we are not affected by victory or defeat. It’s part of the game.” Shikhar Dhawan gave a big statement in defense of Rohit Sharma Shikhar Dhawan defended Rohit, saying, “I think this is neither a fair nor a practical approach to anything.” India had to face defeat against New Zealand by 8 wickets in Bengaluru and by 113 runs in Pune. With this, India’s streak of winning 18 consecutive Test series at home was broken. Dhawan, who retired from international and domestic cricket in August, said, “As a cricketer, we do not think like this. Rohit is a great captain. It is not just a matter of victory or defeat. The team has a bond with its captain and the team members respect him a lot.” The last Test of the India vs New Zealand series will be held in Mumbai from 1 to 5 November. India has to play five test matches on Australia tour from 22nd November. There is a high possibility that captain Rohit may miss the first one or two Test matches of the Australia series due to personal reasons. However, BCCI did not say anything officially in this regard while announcing the squad. At the same time, while giving a statement about India’s prospects in the upcoming Australia tour, Dhawan has expressed more expectations from Team India.

Virat Kohli will be remembered as a great player, while Babar Azam…: Mudassar Nazar
Former Pakistan all-rounder Mudassar Nazar termed the comparison between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam as nonsense and said that there is a lot of difference between the two players. Babar Azam Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Twitter) Often on social media, fans of Pakistan and Babar Azam compare him with one of the great batsmen, Virat Kohli. Now former Pakistan all-rounder Mudassar Nazar termed the comparison between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam as nonsense and said that there is a lot of difference between the two players. According to Mudassar, Kohli is one of the great players of the game, while Babar is still to make a name for himself. Kohli and Babar are counted among the best batsmen of the present era. Both the players admire each other a lot and have expressed this openly on many occasions. Fans of India and Pakistan constantly make comparisons between the two, but Mudassar believes that both the players are not even in the same league yet. Speaking to news agency PTI, he said: There is a world of difference between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam: Mudassar Nazar “I mean there’s a lot of difference between the two players. Virat will be remembered as one of the greatest players to grace the game. At the same time, Babar still has to make a name for himself.” Like watching Rohit and Kohli bat: Mudassar Nazar The 68-year-old praised Kohli and India’s Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma, saying it was a great experience to watch them bat at their peak. Mudassar said, “I love watching Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli play. When they are at their peak and playing well, it is great to watch them play. You can sit in front of the TV for hours and watch those two play.” Rohit and Kohli were part of India’s 2024 T20 World Cup victory. Rohit was India’s leading run-scorer in the tournament, with 257 runs in eight innings, while Kohli top-scored with 76 runs from 59 balls in the final. Comparison between Kohli and Babar is nonsense: Zaheer Abbas Before Mudassar, former Pakistan legend Zaheer Abbas had also termed the comparison between Kohli and Babar as baseless. Speaking at the Cricket Prediction Conclave, he was quoted by Cricket Pakistan as saying: He said, “Comparison is useless, Virat Kohli scores runs in every match, whereas Babar does not score runs in any match, then how can you compare? The one who scores runs is a big player.” Kohli (35) is the fourth highest run scorer in international cricket. In 535 matches (595 innings), he has scored 27,041 runs at an average of 53.23, which includes 80 centuries and 140 half-centuries. Babar has scored 13,836 runs in 294 matches (328 innings) at an average of 47.54, which includes 31 centuries and 94 half-centuries.
