Team India squad for Australia Tour: On Friday night, BCCI announced the squad of the Indian team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Team India is going on a tour of Australia next month, where a 5-match Test series will be played between the two teams.
There are a lot of expectations from the Indian team in the biggest battle of Test cricket. 18 players have been selected in Rohit Sharma and Company for this tour. The squad includes some names whose selection is surprising. Let us tell you about the 3 lucky Indian players selected in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy squad.
3. Mohammad Siraj
Indian cricket team's star fast bowler Mohammad Siraj has become a very mature bowler in recent times. Siraj has left a tremendous impression in international cricket with his bowling, but still his performance in the Test cricket format has not been as expected. This right-arm fast bowler has played 30 test matches so far, in which he has taken 80 wickets. During this period, he has been disappointing especially in the domestic test matches. In such a situation, it can be said that Siraj has been selected for Australia tour only with the help of luck.
2. Nitish Reddy
All-rounder Nitish Reddy performed well in the T20 series against Bangladesh. After his brilliant performance in the IPL, he was successful in making a place in Team India's T20 team. Nitish has now been included as an all-rounder for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. This player got the test ticket very early, because he has not even made his debut in this format yet. Nitish has scored 708 runs in 21 first-class matches at an average of 21.45 and has taken 55 wickets in bowling.
1. Famous Krishna
Karnataka's right-arm fast bowler Prasidh Krishna is very talented, there is no doubt about it, but his selection in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy can be said to be based on luck only. Krishna's first class career has neither been very impressive nor has he done wonders in the opportunities he got in international cricket. He has played 2 test matches so far, in which he has been able to take only 2 wickets, while he has taken 65 wickets in 19 first class matches.
