Perth. The Perth Test between India and Australia is starting from 22nd November. In the absence of Rohit, the command of Team India will be with the acting captain Jasprit Bumrah. It is a big question what will be the opening combination and playing11 of Team India in the first match of the fivematch series. Also, it will be very interesting to see whether HarshitNitish will get a chance to debut or not.
It is also true that both the teams have a lot to prove. The pressure is more on Australia and they are playing at home. For the last decade they have failed to defeat India at home. Whereas, after the clean sweep against New Zealand at home, Team India will also take the field with the intention of making a comeback.
The Perth pitch has been helpful to fast bowlers. The pitch here is famous for the high speed and bounce of the ball. At the same time, gradually the spin bowlers also get some help from the pitch. Therefore, both the teams will definitely include at least one specialist spinner in their playing11.
It is a very difficult task for India to decide the playing11 in the Perth Test. Team India's batting lineup has also faltered due to the absence of two key players. The question is who will be the opener in the absence of Rohit Sharma?, while the second question is that Shubman Gill is injured, he will not play the first test. Who will come in his place at number three?
Indian team for Perth Test:
Indian Test team: Devdutt Padikkal, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah (captain), Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), KL Rahul, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Siraj, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan, Prasidh Krishna and Ravichandran Ashwin.
