Ind vs Aus: The first Test of the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series between India and Australia is to be played at the Optus Stadium in Perth. With Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill not playing in this match, all eyes are on the playing eleven. Everyone wants to know which players will get a chance to play in Perth. According to the report, changes are possible in the playing eleven against New Zealand. Ravindra Jadeja may be out while R. Ashwin will play as the main spinner.
Fast bowlers get help on foreign pitches and meanwhile a spinner can be given a chance in the playing eleven. According to the information, India is preparing to drop either Ravindra Jadeja or Ravichandran Ashwin. 21 year old Nitish Reddy may get a chance to debut.
Nitish Kumar Reddy can debut
According to the report, India is planning to debut Nitish Kumar Reddy in the first Test to be held in Perth. With Reddy joining the team, the Indian team will get a chance to bat in the lower order. He can bat at No. 7 or 8 and can also bowl 6-10 overs in a one-day game to ease the burden on three fast bowlers. Reddy has been seen spending a lot of time with bowling coach Morne Morkel.
Jadeja is out, Ashwin can play the match!
All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja may be kept out of the playing eleven for the Perth Test. Ravichandran Ashwin is expected to get a chance as the only spinner. The reason is that Australia’s three main bowlers Usman Khawaja, Travis Head and Alex Carey are left-handed. According to reports, Jadeja did not bowl much in the nets as he spent more time batting.
