India vs Australia at Perth Stadium: After losing the test series against New Zealand by sweep (0-3) at home, the Indian team has now reached the tour of Australia. A 5-match Test series will be played between India and Australia under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The first match will be played at Perth Stadium starting on November 22.
This stadium has been unlucky for the Indian team. Here the Indian team has played only one test match, in which they lost. This match was played in December 2018, in which Australia won by 146 runs.
Kohli’s bat was flying ferociously.
The good thing about this match was that as captain, Virat Kohli had played a century innings of 123 runs. Despite this, the team was defeated. While bowling, pacer Jasprit Bumrah took 2 wickets in the first innings and 3 wickets in the second innings.
This time four players from the last game will be able to return to the field. Apart from Kohli and Bumrah, these are KL Rahul and batsman Rishabh Pant. But this time the Indian team will depend more on Kohli and Bumrah because both of them performed well in the last match.
Headache will increase in severe cases.
If the second record is achieved, Indian coach Gautam Gambhir’s headache will increase. In fact, Australia has not lost a test at this Perth stadium so far. He competed in 4 tests here and won them all. The kangaroo team has won all these matches by a margin of more than 100 runs.
Australia played their last match against Pakistan on this ground. In this Test, the Kangaroo team had restricted Pakistan to 89 runs in the second innings. In addition to this, this match was won by a huge margin of 360 runs. In such a situation, if the Indian team has to defeat Australia on this ground, they will have to make great preparations.
Indian team for Australia tour: Rohit Sharma (captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (goalkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (goalkeeper), R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj , Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar.
