The Indian team under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma is scheduled to play a 5-match Border-Gavaskar Test series against Australia from November 22. Traveling to Australia for a Test series is never an easy task for any team, but the Indian team has managed to win the Test series after defeating them at home in their last two tours. However, the picture is a bit different this time as Team India recently faced a one-sided clean sweep in the Test series played at home against New Zealand. In such a situation, the form of all the players are being questioned, but still hope that Team India will perform better in the Border-Gavaskar Test series. At the same time, to build pressure on the Indian team, the media has also come into the fray along with former players, with articles being published in Hindi in English newspapers.
Australian newspapers are praising Virat Kohli
There is no doubt that Australian fans are also eagerly waiting to see Virat Kohli play. Although this time he has come on the tour not as a captain but as a player, the media there is still trying to portray Kohli as the captain of Team India. In this, an English newspaper ‘The Advertiser’ carried a picture of Kohli with the headline ‘Battle of the Ages’ in Hindi. Also on the same page is a photo of Pat Cummins, captain of the Australian Test team, standing with both hands folded. This clearly shows that the Australian media is clearly ignoring the Indian captain Rohit Sharma completely, so that a different kind of pressure can be put on Team India before the start of this series.
Yashaswi Jaiswal was named the new king
Since entering Test cricket in the year 2023, Yashaswi Jaiswal’s bat has been seen doing the talking in almost every series, although despite this, he is yet to fully prove himself. For Jaiswal, this tour of Australia is being considered as the biggest challenge for his Test career. Jaiswal is currently in better form with the bat. For this reason, he has also been praised in the Australian media, with Jaiswal being described as Navma Raja, meaning the new king, in the pages of the Punjabi section of The Advertiser. Let us tell you that Shubman Gill is very popular as the new prince in Team India who is touring Australia for the second time in his career. In the last tour, when Team India registered a historic win at the Gabba, Gill played a very important role in the opening with his batting.
