Border Gavaskar Trophy is going to start in Perth from 22nd November. In the first match of the series, the command of Team India will be in the hands of Jasprit Bumrah, because Rohit Sharma is currently in India. At the same time, Shubman Gill is also injured, so it is not yet clear whether he will be a part of the first match or not. That is, what will be the playing 11 of Team India in the Perth Test, it still remains a puzzle. However, some shocking updates have emerged regarding Team India’s playing 11, two of which can sink Team India’s boat in Perth.
Star player’s card may be cut from Perth Test
Team India can go with a spinner in the Perth Test. At the same time, there are three spinners in the Indian team squad, these three players are R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. At the same time, according to the news, R Ashwin may get a chance in the playing 11 in the first test. Actually, there are three left-handed batsmen in the Australian team, while there are also two lefty tailenders, due to which the management can bet on Ashwin. On the other hand, Jadeja and Sundar will give the option of batting along with bowling, but they may have to sit out.
Not playing Washington Sundar could prove costly for Team India. He was the most successful bowler in the recent home Test series against New Zealand. He was included in the team in the middle of the series and he managed to leave his mark. Washington Sundar had taken 16 wickets in 4 innings of only 2 matches. Apart from this, he also did wonders with the bat. He scored 89 runs at an average of 44.50, which also included an unbeaten inning of 38 runs. On the other hand, Ashwin could take only 9 wickets in 6 innings of 3 matches. He was a flop in the entire series.
The team will field with three fast bowlers
Everyone’s eyes are also on the fast bowling combination of Team India. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj are going to be Manzanant’s first choice somewhere, because they have a lot of experience of playing in Australia. At the same time, the third fast bowler will be one among Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna and Harshit Rana. According to media reports, there is competition between Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna for the third fast bowler. That means Akash Deep is certain to sit outside.
Let us tell you, among these three bowlers, Akash Deep has the most experience of playing test matches for India. Akash Deep has played 5 test matches for Team India so far, during which he has taken 10 wickets. Akash Deep is known for taking wickets at the beginning of the innings, he recently showed this by doing so against New Zealand. In such a situation, not including him in the playing 11 may prove costly for the Indian team.
