Border Gavaskar Trophy: Team India has to play 5-match Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia later this year. Team India has been undefeated in the Border Gavaskar Trophy for the last 10 years.
Not only this, Team India had also won the last two Border Gavaskar series held in Australia. The role of Team India's legendary off-spin bowler Ravichandran Ashwin was very important in winning that series, but this time he may not get a chance to play in even a single match of this series.
Let us tell you that Team India goes with an additional fast bowler in foreign tours, due to which the team management can give a chance to Akashdeep in place of Ashwin. Akashdeep has performed well in all the matches he has played for India during this period. Because of which he can be given a chance as the third bowler.
Actually, if media reports are to be believed, captain Rohit Sharma may not be seen playing in the first test due to family reasons. Jasprit Bumrah can captain the team in place of Rohit. Let us tell you that the first test will be played in Perth from 22 to 26 November.
Ravichandran Ashwin had performed brilliantly in the last two Border Gavaskar Trophies. He not only showed his magic with the ball but also scored important runs with the bat. Who can forget the unbreakable partnership between him and Hanuma Vihari in Sydney, due to which Team India's dream of winning the series could be fulfilled.
Not only this, the team management gives priority to Ravindra Jadeja over Ravichandran Ashwin as a spin all-rounder, because Jadeja's batting has improved a lot in the last few years. Because of which Ravindra Jadeja may get a chance in the team as a spin all-rounder.
Team India's probable playing eleven for the first test-
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah (captain), Mohammed Siraj, Akashdeep.
