Ajinkya Rahane scored a classic century against Australia
On a tour of any country, the hosts always complain that the top-level players do not participate in the practice match. But this time for Australia, players like Test team captain Tim Paine, Travis Head, Joe Burns, James Pattinson are taking part in the practice match.But talking about the Indian team, players like Jaspreet Burma, Mohammed Shami, Mayank Agarwal were not released in the practice match. In the absence of Ishant Sharma, Navdeep Saini has the chance to turn this opportunity into an opportunity. Although Saini could not do anything special in the ODI series.
It is believed that Mayank Agarwal can bat in the Test series opener, but who will be his partner is still in question. Talking about the other opener Prithvi Shaw, he has consistently failed in the last few matches and during the practise match, he was dismissed without opening an account. Shubman Gill returned to the pavilion playing only one ball. Both Shaw and Gill could not do much with the bat, so the problem of the second opener still remains for the team.
Australia's top order laid down arms in front of R Ashwin and Umesh Yadav
In the practice match, Umesh Yadav took three wickets for 38 runs in 15 overs, while Ashwin took two wickets for 40 runs in 14 overs. Talking about Kuldeep Yadav, he gave 23 runs in 10 overs, but he could not get any wickets. Let us know that the first Test match between India and Australia will be played on 17 December. While the second Test will be played on 26 December, 7 January, the third Test will be played on 15 January.
After the first Test match, Virat Kohli will go on Paternity Leave, so the question remains on who will be given a place in his absence. Talking about Ajinkya Rahane, he is the vice-captain of the Test team, so in the absence of Kohli, he will lead the team. But Rahane did not bat at number four in the warm-up match, instead, Hanuma Vihari was given the chance at number four in his place. In such a situation, it is believed that in the absence of Kohli, Vihari can be dropped at number four, while Rahane may come at number five.
