Prasidh Krishna
The first Test match between India and Australia will be played in Perth from November 22. But Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma will not be able to play the first match. Gill is injured and Rohit has not gone to Australia after the birth of his son. Instead of Rohit, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will be seen taking charge and Akashdeep may get a chance in the playing XI to support him. Akashdeep has been performing well for some time now and has managed to impress everyone with his bowling. There is competition between youngsters Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna for the third pacer.
Harshit Rana has impressed
Delhi fast bowler Harshit Rana’s claim for the first Test is considered strong. He has only played 10 first-class matches so far, in which he has taken 43 wickets. He has performed brilliantly and consistently, with a pace of over 140 kmph and the ability to get a good bounce. He has impressed even the great giants. Harshit troubled the batsmen with his fast pace on several occasions during India’s net practice at the WACA ground in Perth. He can debut in the first test match.
Prasidh Krishna is experienced
Prasidh Krishna made his Test debut for the Indian team in the year 2023. He has only played two Test matches for India so far. He has 29 wickets to his name in 17 ODI matches. As the third fast bowler, he is also a strong contender for a place in the Indian team. He has experience and can get a good bounce in Australia. Krishna has taken 73 wickets in first-class matches and 113 wickets in List A for India. What do the team management and the captain decide now? Only time will tell.
Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna and Harshit Rana get a chance as fast bowlers in India’s squad for the Test series against Australia. Nitish Kumar Reddy also plays fast. According to the ESPNcricinfo report, the Indian team can field three fast bowlers. While a fast bowler can feed the all-rounder. Nitish Reddy’s name is at the forefront of this.
