India vs Australia at Perth Stadium: After losing the Test series against New Zealand at home by a clean sweep (0-3), the Indian team has now reached Australia tour. A 5-match Test series will be played between India and Australia under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The first match will be held on 22 November at Perth Stadium. This stadium is unfortunate for the Indian team. The Indian team has played only one test match in this stadium so far in which it has lost. This match was played in December 2018, in which Australia won by 146 runs.

Kohli’s brilliant batting

The good thing about this match was that as captain, Virat Kohli played a century inning of 123 runs. However, the team had to face defeat. While bowling, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah lost 2 wickets in the first innings and 3 wickets in the second innings.

Four players from the last match can take the field again this time. Apart from Kohli and Bumrah, they are KL Rahul and wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant. But this time the Indian team will rely more on Kohli and Bumrah, because both of them had performed brilliantly in the last match.

under severe stress

If we look at another record, Indian coach Gautam Gambhir will be under severe tension. Actually, Australia has not lost any test match till now in this stadium of Perth. Australia has played 4 Tests here and won all of them. Kangaroo team has won all these matches by a margin of 100+ runs.

Australia played its last match against Pakistan on this ground. In this test, the Kangaroo team limited Pakistan to 89 runs in the second innings. With this, the 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, then it will have to prepare strongly.

Indian team for Australia tour: Rohit Sharma (captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wk), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wk), R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Irish Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar.

Australian team for the first test: Pat Cummins (captain), Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh English, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Nathan McSweeney, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc.
