IND vs AUS: Team India to enter first Test with this playing XI, who will debut?

India vs Australia Test Series: The Indian team’s litmus test is just around the corner. The first match of the Test series between India and Australia will be played from November 22 in Perth. The tour to Australia has never been easy for the Indian team. This time too there are many difficulties that have to be overcome. Meanwhile, it should be understood what playing XI Team India can field in the first Test in the absence of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill.

Rohit Sharma will not be present in the first Test of the India-Australia series. It is believed that he will reach Australia by the second Test. The biggest question in such a situation is which batsman will be with Yashshwi Jaiswal, who will be seen opening with him. Currently, KL Rahul is considered to be the strongest contender. Although Abhimanyu Eswaran is also named, his form is nothing special at present. Although KL Rahul is not scoring runs with his bat, but KL Rahul can benefit from the experience and there is every possibility that he will win.

Virat Kohli will have a lot of responsibility during the series

After this, Virat Kohli is sure to come at number three. Earlier, he was jockeyed for space, which did not prove to be a profitable deal. It would be appropriate for Virat Kohli to come in at number three. Because he is the most experienced player in this Test team. If the Australian team is afraid of any Indian player this time, it is Virat Kohli. If he leaves, the rest of the team can play around him and try to take the lead in the match.

Devadatta Padikal may enter in place of Shubman.

Shubman Gill is injured. He will also be absent from the first match. In such a situation, Devadatta Padikal may be given a chance to replace him. Devdutt has played only one Test match so far, in which he managed to perform well, but now he is likely to get another chance, which he will have to take advantage of. After this, Rishabh Pant will also be a part of the playing eleven. Talking about this, Dhruv Jurel can also be given a chance. Recently, he batted brilliantly for India A against Australia A, making his claim strong. Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin may be given a chance as all-rounders in the team. But whose pitch will be helpful remains to be seen. If the pitch helps the pacers, Nitish Kumar Reddy could be seen making his Test debut. With this, either Jadeja or Ashwin could be shown the way out.

Jasprit Bumrah will have a dual responsibility, he will also captain

Jasprit Bumrah will be responsible for the fast bowling attack. In the absence of Rohit Sharma, he will be seen captaining this match as well. Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep and Harshit Rana may be given a chance along with him. Harshit Rana has been touring with Team India for a long time, but now it seems that the day is near when he will be seen making his first match i.e. debut for India.

India’s probable playing XI for the first Test against Australia: Yashwi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikal, Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah (capt), Mohammad Siraj, Akash Deep, Harshit Rana.
