Team India defeated Australia in Perth but now the next battle is very difficult. That is because the next battle is to be held in Adelaide where the Indian team was in bad shape during the last Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Team India has been all out for 36 runs in Adelaide and this time this team would not like to let anything like this happen. To prepare for the Adelaide Test, Team India is going to play a warm-up match in Canberra. This match will be against Prime Minister XI. The match will be of two days but the Indian team will get many answers in this match. Let us tell you why this warm-up match is important for the Indian team.
Warm up match is important for Team India
In the warm-up match, Team India will first get the answer that who will open in Adelaide? Yashasvi Jaiswal’s opening is confirmed but will Rahul open again? Actually, in the absence of Rohit Sharma, Rahul opened in Perth and he along with Jaiswal did amazing batting. Now Rohit has returned and he only opens. Will Rohit create a match-winning opening pair? This is a big question. However, it is believed that with the arrival of Rohit, there will be a change in the opening and he will field with Jaiswal. The answer will be found in the warm-up match to be held in Canberra.
Then where will Rahul play?
Now if Rahul withdraws from the opening, then where will this batsman play? It is not certain that Shubman Gill will play in the Adelaide Test, so who will play at number 3 is also a big question. It is possible that Rahul may be fielded at number 3. Devdutt Padikkal, who played at number 3 in the last match, is said to be sitting out in Adelaide. All these things will be decided only in the warm-up match in Canberra.
Well, one question would also be that what will be the bowling attack of Team India from the pink ball test? It is considered certain that Bumrah, Siraj and Harshit will play, but among the spinners, will only Sundar be given a chance or will either Jadeja and Ashwin be given a chance. Now we have to see what answer is given to this.
