KL Rahul will open in Perth Test, this 24 year old player may get a chance at number three in place of Gill.

IND vs OFF: The Indian cricket team has reached Australia for the 5 test match series. The first test is starting in Perth from 22nd November. Team India is struggling with injuries to its players before the first test. Sarfaraz Khan is injured while Shubman Gill is out of the first test due to injury. Captain Rohit Sharma is also not available for the first test. Jasprit Bumrah will captain in his place. It has become difficult for Team India to decide the playing XI in the first test. Meanwhile, big news has come related to Rahul and a young player.

Rahul will start the innings

Rohit Sharma is not available for Perth Test. In such a situation, there was a big concern about who would open the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal, but according to reports, KL Rahul can open the innings with Jaiswal. Let us tell you that Rahul was dropped from the playing XI for the last 2 tests against New Zealand. But Rahul has emerged as an important player in the Australia series.

This player gets a chance at number three

Shubman Gill is out of the first test due to injury. According to reports his thumb is broken. In such a situation, 24 year old left-handed batsman Devdutt Padikal can be included in the team and given a chance at number three. Padikal made his debut in the Test series against England this year. He scored 65 runs in 1 innings of 1 test.

Series is very important for India

The 3-0 defeat in the home Test series against New Zealand has made the path to the final of the World Test Championship 2025 difficult for India. Now if Team India has to play the final, then it will have to defeat Australia 4-0 in the 5-Test series, which is very difficult.
