The team management will give the responsibility to KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel or Shubman Gill
The current state of form of the players increased the problems
1st Test Ind vs Aus (Aaj Samaj), Sports Table: The last month has brought a lot for the Indian cricket team. During this period, the team played two test series in their own country and both Indian teams saw two different types of teams. On one hand, Team India completely eliminated Bangladesh and won both Test matches comfortably. In the Test series against New Zealand that began immediately afterwards, the Indian batting collapsed. During this period, not only did the team lose the series 3-0, but the Indians’ batting order struggled throughout the series.

Indian batting a cause for concern
The Indian batsmen are not in good form at the moment. Only one or two batsmen in the team performed well against New Zealand. Now the biggest problem for the Indian team on the tour of Australia will be the starting pair. Rohit Sharma is not available in the first Test match. Now, in such a situation, it remains to be seen which player will play the role of opening batsman for Team India. However, the team management has already sent KL Rahul and Dhruv Jurel to Australia so that they can participate in the practice match against Australia-A.

In such a situation, the team management is thinking of getting Rahul to open. Although Abhimanyu Easwaran is also present in the team as a substitute opener, he also failed in the unofficial Test against Australia-A. It is believed that KL Rahul can be seen opening in the Perth Test. He is usually sent to the fifth position in Tests, but currently Rishabh Pant has confirmed his place at number five. In such a situation, there is no vacant place for Rahul in the middle order. In such a situation, it can be expected that KL Rahul and Jaiswal can open for Team India in the first Test match.
