Border Gavaskar Trophy: Team India’s performance on the last Australia tour has been excellent. However, the team has suffered a 3-0 defeat in the home series against New Zealand. Top batsmen not being in form can cause problems. Whereas in bowling, the maximum responsibility will be on the shoulders of Bumrah.

Agency, Perth (India vs Australia Perth Test). The first match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is going to start from November 22 in Perth. Looking at the performance of Team India in the last Australia tour, it is believed that the series will be exciting.
Jasprit Bumrah is captaining Team India in the Perth Test. Rohit Sharma will join the team from the second test. The question is, which 11 players do Bumrah and hedge coach Gautam Gambhir field on the fast-balling pitch of Perth?

The Perth Test will start at 7.30 am Indian time on Friday. The live telecast of the match can be seen on Star Sports Network and DD Sports. Apart from this, live streaming will be available on Disney + Hotstar.
India’s Predicted XI vs Australia, 1st Test
The team management has not given any indication on the playing XI, but it is believed that the responsibility of starting the innings will be given to KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Due to injury of Shubman Gill, Devdutt Padikkal may get a chance at number three.
All eyes will be on Virat Kohli at number 4. Virat wants to overcome difficult times. Dhruv Jurel is expected to get a place in the team in place of Sarfaraz Khan. He will be followed by Rishabh Pant in the batting order.
It is expected that Nitish Kumar Reddy will make his Test debut and bat at number 6. After him, India’s only spinner for the match will be Ravichandran Ashwin. Ravindra Jadeja is preferred as the only spinner in the Indian team on overseas tours. However, this time Ashwin is expected to get a place.
India’s probable XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Devdutt Padikkal, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah (captain), Mohammed Siraj, Akashdeep.
Toss will be important in Perth
Perth’s pitch helps fast bowlers and batting is not easy here. This is why the toss will also be important here. Four Test matches have been played at Perth Stadium from 2018 to 2023, in which the team winning the toss first chose to bat and won all four matches.
The good thing is that the weather will be clear in Perth during the Test match. According to Accuweather.com, there is little chance of rain in the first India-Australia match to be played in Perth.
