'Fight' broke out between two players of Team India

Let us tell you, Indian captain Rohit Sharma may be out of the first test match against Australia. There have been reports for some time that Rohit is expecting a second child with his wife Ritika Sajdeh and due to this he may miss the Test match. In such a situation, Team India will enter the Perth Test with a new opening pair. But who will open the innings in this Test with Yashasvi Jaiswal, it will be decided by the match played between India A and Australia A. KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran are big contenders for this one place.

Actually, in the first four-day match, Abhimanyu Easwaran and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad started the innings. But in the second match, KL Rahul can open with Abhimanyu Easwaran. According to reports, a direct contest is certain between Rahul and Easwaran, whichever of these two players performs well can get Rohit's place in the first test. In such a situation, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad will field in the middle order, while Jurel may get the responsibility of wicketkeeping in place of Ishan Kishan.

KL Rahul's place will change again?

KL Rahul has been playing in the middle order in Tests since the 2023-24 South Africa tour. During this period, he has scored 339 runs in 10 innings at an average of 37.66. However, Rahul has a lot of experience facing the new ball overseas and is one of only two Asian openers to score Test centuries in England, South Africa and Australia. In such a situation, Rahul may once again return to the opening. On the other hand, Abhimanyu Easwaran's recent performance has been quite spectacular. He has 27 centuries in his name in first class matches. In such a situation, Abhimanyu Easwaran is also a big contender for the opening.
