The countdown has begun for the start of the Perth Test. And, if it is said that there are chances of Ashwin playing in the first match of the series, then there is nothing surprising in it. Media reports claim that Ashwin can play as the only spinner in the Indian XI. Why will Ashwin play in Perth? Why is it important for them to play? The reason for this is also clear. Apart from this, the Indian who played eleven in the first match of the Test series also started getting an idea through the pictures from Perth.
Why can Ashwin get a place in the playing XI?
Firstly, do you know why Ashwin can play in Perth Test? The reason behind this is Australia’s batting line-up, in which it is believed that there will be 3 left-handers. Now wherever there is a left-hander there will definitely be Ashwin. Hey brother, Ashwin’s record against left-handed batsmen is amazing. Travis Head, Alex Carey and Usman Khawaja are likely to play for Australia. All three are left-handed. In such a situation, Ashwin can become India’s lethal weapon. Apart from left-handers, Ashwin also has a good record against Steve Smith.
3 fast bowlers, Reddy to make Test debut!
The report says that Ashwin will be the team’s only player in the Perth Test playing eleven. According to this, Jadeja and Sundar cannot play. The Perth course is said to have green grass, which simply means that fast players will have fun. In such a situation, India can opt for 3 pacers. According to media reports, Nitish Kumar Reddy’s Test debut can be seen.

What was seen in practice made the image of the eleven at play clear.
According to Cricbuzz report, earlier during the fielding practice in Perth, a slip cordon was done, Devdutt Padikkal was seen at first slip along with wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, Virat Kohli was seen at second slip and KL Rahul was seen in the third slip. Apart from these, Yashasvi Jaiswal was seen standing on the street. While Dhruv Jurel was sometimes seen deployed in the wide lane and other times in the silly spot.
Now the images don’t lie and if we look at the training photos, they seem to point towards the Indian team’s eleven. Cricbuzz’s own report also mentioned batsmen’s batting practice in the nets. The first pair to bat was Yashasvi and Rahul, making it clear that they will open. After that came Devdutt Padikkal with Virat and then Pant and Jurail.
