Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 : Both the teams have started preparing their strategy for the first Test between India and Australia i.e. Perth Test. The Indian team is playing as two different teams to test itself in the stadium, while on the other hand Perth is home for Australia.

The Indian team will not only have to choose the playing-11 carefully

On the Perth pitch, notorious as a home for pace bowling, the Indian team will not only have to choose the playing-11 carefully, but will also have to fully implement the plan according to the conditions. What will be the strategy of Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir is a matter of later, but right now everyone wants to know what will be the Team India playing-11? Will Rohit Sharma join Team India?

Who will be selected in the playing-11 between KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran?

Even if the captain reaches Australia, will he be a part of the playing-11 or not... Meanwhile, there is news of Shubman Gill being injured, while Devdutt Padikkal is present as backup. If seen, there are only a few positions on which the players are permanent. There are many such positions where there is a fight between 3-3 players. If Rohit Sharma is not available, there will be a battle between KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran.

Devdutt Padikkal may replace Gill

It is believed that KL Rahul has the upper hand. On the other hand, after Gill's injury, there is a possibility that Devdutt Padikkal may get a place. Yashasvi Jaiswal's place in the opening and Virat Kohli's place at number four are confirmed. After this, there is a competition for a place between Nitish Reddy, Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel for the middle order.

Rishabh Pant is sure to play as a wicketkeeper

Dhruv Jurel can win due to scoring runs against Australia-A. Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja and Ashwin will be face to face for one position of spin all-rounder, so Rishabh Pant is sure to play as a wicketkeeper. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana and Akash Deep can be included in the opening quartet. It is possible that they can play with two spinners and 3 pacers, although doing so on the Perth pitch would be a bit risky.
