So now before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia at home, the player has given a big statement. Marsh says that whenever I come out to bat, I am troubling myself like any other person. It is noteworthy that in the beginning of his Test career, Marsh was not able to perform as per expectations. The 33-year-old all-rounder made his Test debut for Australia in 2014, but due to his lack of consistent performance, he was soon dropped from the team. After the Sandpapergate scandal, he not only returned to the team, but was also made the vice-captain of the Test team. After this, he was again dropped from the Test team within a year.

Marsh further said- For me, it is all about my preparation. If I prepare well, go into a game or an innings really confident, then if I fail, I can look at myself in the mirror and say I really did everything I could. Could do.

He can be seen bowling lethal bowling in both Perth and Adelaide. Will prove to be a fast bowler for both the teams: Matthew Hayden The former player further said, ‘Fast bowling attack will be important for both the teams. Fast bowlers will prove to be key players for both the teams. The batting lineup in Test cricket has been quite troubled in the last few years.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli’s MRF Genius Grand King bat is being sold for 2,985 Australian dollars i.e. approximately Rs 1.65 lakh at the Greg Chappell Cricket Center in Sydney.

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.

To say that Rohit Sharma is finished and Virat Kohli is no longer good is absolutely ridiculous: Mike Hussey

Hussey further said- If you dismiss them, you will end up having a negative impact on your face, because they will perform well again. They’re so good you don’t want to do that. I think it is foolish to write him off and also to write off the Indian team. Well, now it will be worth watching how these two great players are going to perform against Australia in Australia?

The first match between the two teams is to be played in Perth from 22 November. Meanwhile, Australian rain spoiled the mood of Team India. It rained in Perth on Tuesday (19 November), due to which the team had to cancel the practice session. But this rain did not make any difference to King Kohli. He continued batting in the nets despite the rain. 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. Virat Kohli wasn’t keen to stop batting even as the rain got heavier before he had no option but to run off with the rest of the team #AusvInd — Bharat Sundaresan (@beastieboy07) November 19, 2024 Virat Kohli did not see a century in both the last Test series against Bangladesh and New Zealand.

His form declined further in 2024, averaging 22.72 in 6 matches and scoring only one half-century in the last 10 innings.

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.
