After the loss to New Zealand, India has already sent KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel to Australia. The intention is clear that these batsmen should become familiar with the pitches of Australia, so that India does not face problems in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. In the first unofficial test, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad opened with Abhimanyu Easwaran. But KL Rahul can play with Abhimanyu in the second match to be played in Melbourne.
There will also be a competition between Abhimanyu Easwaran and KL Rahul as to who scores more runs. According to reports, Rohit Sharma may remain out of the first test match. If this happens then Abhimanyu or KL can be made to open in place of Rohit. The wicketkeeper may also be seen changed in the second unofficial test match. It is believed that Dhruv Jurel can handle the responsibility of wicketkeeper instead of Ishan Kishan.
