(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.

“I will be very surprised if he does not score runs in BGT”- Ganguly said on Virat’s poor form.
I will be surprised if Virat does not score runs in Australia- Sourav Ganguly Sourav Ganguly and Virat Kohli. (Photo Source: Twitter) In the last few years, the performance of Team India’s legendary batsman Virat Kohli in Test cricket has not been that good. His form remains a matter of tension for Team India. India has to play the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar series against Australia from 22nd November and if India has to perform well in this series, it is very important for Virat to be in form. Virat’s performance in Australia so far has been excellent and it is expected that in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Virat will regain his lost form in Test cricket. Earlier in the three-day intra squad match, Virat had come out to bat twice on the first day and now he will be desperate to score runs in this series. Sourav Ganguly Sourav Ganguly gave a big statement on Virat Kohli’s form Former Team India cricketer and BCCI Chief Sourav Ganguly has said that he will be very surprised if Virat is not able to score runs in this Test series. In an interview given to RevSports, when Sourav Ganguly was asked about Virat Kohli’s form, he said, ‘He is a champion player, his ODI figures are better, his 2014 series was dangerous, his record in Australia has been strong. . He has about 6 test centuries in Australia. We have to admit that he is not getting younger with time. The game is different at the age of 28-29, 30 and it is different at the age of 36-37. But he will be ready for this series, he knows he has been successful here, his game is still great and there is no doubt about that and the most important thing is that he will be playing on good pitches. The wicket will be fast, there will be pace on it, there will be bounce, there will be seam movement with the Kookaburra ball. So this will be a good series for him and I will be very surprised if this series is not good for him. Five Test matches is a lot, I think this series will be very good for him.

(Photo Source: Twitter) Former Indian women’s cricket team captain Mithali Raj has been appointed as the mentor for women’s cricket operations by the Andhra Pradesh Cricket Association. Let us tell you that Mithali Raj is counted among the best batsmen in the world in women’s cricket. Her performance has always been very good and many people consider Mithali Raj as their idol. Mithali Raj has signed a 3-year contract with Andhra Cricket Association. His primary responsibility will be to Scout and Nurture. Let us tell you that Mithali Raj had retired from international cricket in 2022. However, she has been seen playing many important roles in women’s cricket. ACA Secretary S. Satish Babu said, “Mithali has signed a three-year contract with us, with the specific objective of discovering and nurturing young talent across the state. We are really pleased that she has taken on this responsibility, which is part of our efforts to give a new direction to women’s cricket. , The ACA Secretary further said, “We are setting up a full-fledged High Performance Academy in Anantapur for women cricketers, where initially we will select 80 girls from different age groups and will give them 365 days of training including academics. Mithali Raj has also been the mentor of Gujarat Giants in the Women’s Premier League 2023. Mithali Raj has also been the mentor and advisor of Gujarat Giants in the Women’s Premier League 2023. However, Gujarat Giants’ performance this season was very poor and the team had won only two out of 8 matches while they had to face defeat in 6. Talking about the Indian women’s cricket team, their performance has been quite good for some time now and many young players have left their mark in international cricket. Not only this, young players have got to learn a lot from experienced players.

Bumrah’s tension may increase after seeing these figures before BGT, Pat Cummins alone said…
AUS vs IND (Photo Source: The five-match Test series between India and Australia is going to start from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. There will be a lot of pressure on the Indian team in this series after recently facing a clean sweep from New Zealand at home. The path to the World Test Championship has become difficult for India after losing 3-0 in the series against New Zealand. If India now wants to reach the WTC final, then they will have to perform well against Australia. To win BGT, Team India will have to perform well in all three departments (batting, bowling and fielding). The pace attack of the Indian team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is not as experienced as that of the host team Australia. You will be surprised to know that all the pacers of the Indian team together have not been able to take as many wickets in Test cricket as the Australian team captain Pat Cummins has in his account. AUS vs IND: India’s bowling attack is very weak compared to Australia. Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are part of the playing XI for the Perth Test match. The number of Test wickets taken by these three is 900, whereas the four pacers of the Indian team together have been able to take only 265 wickets. In this way, in terms of bowling, the strength of the Australian team will be three times that of India. In the Test, Jasprit Bumrah has taken 173 wickets, Mohammad Siraj has taken 80 wickets, Akash Deep has taken 10 wickets and Prasidh Krishna has taken 2 wickets. The number of wickets taken by these four is 265, while Australian team captain Pat Cummins alone has taken 269 wickets in Test cricket. Whereas Harshit Rana and Nitish Reddy have not yet debuted in Test cricket. Although when Team India last toured Australia, India’s pace attack was much weaker than Australia, yet the Indian team was successful in defeating the Kangaroos at their home. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how Team India performs in this Border Gavaskar series.
Cheteshwar Pujara entered for BGT 2024-25, will be seen in a new role in Australia
Cheteshwar Pujara was a part of the Indian team in the last Border-Gavaskar series. Cheteshwar Pujara (Photo Source: Getty) The upcoming five-match Test series between India and Australia is going to start from November 22. Team India’s senior Test batsman Cheteshwar Pujara will stay in Australia during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Pujara, who has been dropped from the Test team for a long time, will be seen in a different role in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy this time. This time Pujara will be seen in the commentary box not with the bat but with the mike. Pujara is at number four in the list of Indian batsmen who have scored the most runs in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. When India captured two consecutive Border-Gavaskar Trophies in Australia in 2018-19 and 2020-21, Pujara played a very important role in it. 36-year-old Pujara has played 103 Test matches for India and during this he has scored a total of 7195 runs at an average of 43.60. Pujara has not played any Test match for India since the final match of the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23. Since then, he has been continuously out of the team and now his comeback in Test is looking very difficult. In such a situation, now he has got a new role for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar series. Cheteshwar Pujara will be seen doing commentary in Hindi. This time Pujara is going to be seen doing Hindi commentary in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Let us tell you that Dinesh Karthik has returned to international cricket after doing commentary, now it will be interesting to see whether something similar happens with Cheteshwar Pujara or not? If we look at Pujara’s statistics in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, between 2010 and 2023, he has scored 2033 runs in 43 innings of 24 matches at an average of 50.82. There are only four Indian batsmen in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy who have scored more than 2000 runs and apart from Pujara, the names of Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid are in this list.

“I am feeling good”- Big good news for Team India, KL Rahul is completely fit.
Before the opening Test of Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2025 to be played at Optus Stadium in Perth, Team India’s players are continuously getting injured, which has increased the tension of Team India. Firstly, Sarfaraz Khan and KL Rahul suffered elbow injuries during the practice session at the WACA Stadium. Later, Shubman Gill fractured his finger and was ruled out of the first Test match. Meanwhile, a relief news has come out for Team India, KL Rahul has returned to the field again after injury. Rahul was hit on the elbow by a rising ball from Prasidh Krishna during India’s intra-squad match on 15 November. He left the field after a check-up by the medical team, but the wicketkeeper-batsman worked out for about three hours during India’s training session on Sunday morning. According to RevSportz, Rahul batted for more than an hour at center wicket and looked comfortable. Rahul faced Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and other Indian bowlers. After spending a long time at the center wicket, instead of taking rest, Rahul went straight to the nets. He practiced for a long time in the nets with both new and old balls. KL Rahul said a big thing after returning from injury After being hit on his elbow on Day 1 of the match simulation, KL Rahul has recovered and is raring to go.#TeamIndia , #AUSvIND , @klrahul pic.twitter.com/FhVDSNk8tv — BCCI (@BCCI) November 17, 2024 The Karnataka batsman opened the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal during India’s intra-squad match simulation. When KL Rahul returned to the practice session after an elbow injury, he was now looking completely fit, but he was not in rhythm while batting. Gill has been ruled out of the first test due to a fracture in his finger, hence it has become very important for KL Rahul to be fit for the first test. When KL Rahul returned to the field after being injured, he said, I am feeling good. I batted. I am getting ready for the first test match. I have got a lot of time to prepare and I am very excited for this series.
