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.

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.

“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.
“Don’t end your career”- Rohit did not want to become Test captain, then Ganguly convinced him
The first test match will be played between India and Australia from 22nd November. Sourav Ganguly, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. (Image Source: Getty Images) Team India’s former veteran captain and player Sourav Ganguly has made a big revelation about Rohit Sharma. Ganguly revealed that when Virat Kohli decided to step down from the captaincy role after the series against South Africa in January 2022, Rohit Sharma was not ready to become the Test captain considering his workload. However, Ganguly convinced Rohit for this and he led Team India in all three formats. Now after retiring from T20, he is the captain of the ODI and Test teams, while Suryakumar Yadav is leading Team India in the shortest format of cricket. The former Indian captain said that he had to convince Rohit to take over the captaincy in the longer format and he is not surprised by what Rohit has achieved so far. Sourav Ganguly made a big revelation about Rohit Sharma Sourav Ganguly was quoted as saying by RevSportz, “He did not become the captain because he was captaining in other formats. Therefore he had a lot of workload. I don’t believe in workload. India’s Test captain will remain the Test captain. I told him not to end his career without becoming a Test captain, I am not surprised by what he has achieved.” Team India is currently on Australia tour where they have to play 5-match Border Gavaskar Test series against the hosts. There is doubt over the availability of captain Rohit Sharma in the first match of this series. Actually, Rohit has recently become a father for the second time. For this reason he did not leave for Australia with the Indian squad. Regarding this, Ganguly says that if he had been in Rohit’s place, he would have gone to Australia for the Perth Test. He also believes that the upcoming series will be 37-year-old Rohit’s last tour in Australia. Ganguly said, “I hope that Rohit Sharma will leave soon, because the team needs leadership. I believe his wife gave birth to a son last night, so I’m sure he will be gone from the team. He should go as soon as possible and if I were in his place, he would be playing the Perth Test.”

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.
