IND Vs AUS: The first test match between India and Australia is about to start in Perth. Now who should be kept in the playing eleven, which player will replace Rohit and Gill? This question has been arising in the mind of every Indian fan for the last 3-4 days. At the beginning of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the Indian team may have to take a big and challenging decision. The question is who should be included in the batting order in the Perth Test. Various types of suggestions are being given for this. And now it seems that the team management has decided what the batting order will be. Indications of this started appearing right from the first practice session of the Indian team at the Optus Stadium in Perth.

Indian team did net practice before the match

The first day’s practice of the Indian team was affected by rain. Due to which the nets session had to be stopped midway. But what happened before that gave many indications as to where the player will play in the first test. According to a report, the slip circle was being made during fielding practice. After this, Devdutt Padikkal stood at first slip with wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, Virat Kohli at second slip and KL Rahul at third slip. While Yashasvi Jaiswal was standing on the road. And the pole stood at the site of Jurel Wide Gully and then Silly Point.

This player will open

So now it is being said that these players can get a place in the playing eleven. And the fielding situation can also be similar. The batsmen were reportedly sent in pairs to different nets. In which KL Rahul was first in the net along with opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. Padikkal was with Kohli on the second net. Which was enough to indicate that Padikkal will replace Shubman Gill at number three. Apart from this, Rishabh Pant and Jurel were next in the nets, me.ng they will come to bat at numbers 5 and 6.

 

Will Sarfaraz be out of the team?

During the practice session, all the batsmen practiced batting against the bowlers for a long time. While Sarfaraz Khan and Ravindra Jadeja were practicing on the nets next to him. But he was facing most of the throwdowns. It is certain that Jadeja will play in these but it is considered certain that Sarfaraz will be out of the team. Whereas Abhimanyu Easwaran, who was taken to Australia as a backup opener, was watching everything from a distance. In such a situation, it can be said that he will not debut in the Perth Test. There are still more than 2 days left to play the first test. Will the Indian team make any changes in the meantime? All eyes will be on him.
