Before the start of Border-Gavaskar series, the flop show of Team India’s batsmen continues. Virat Kohli has once again disappointed with his batting in the intra squad match played against India A in Perth. Rishabh Pant also could not show anything special with the bat. Yashasvi Jaiswal’s bat, which was struggling for runs in the New Zealand series, also remained calm. The flop show of the key batsmen of Team India at the WACA ground has further increased the concern of the Indian team management. KL Rahul was the only batsman who looked to be in some form but had to leave the field due to injury.

Kohli disappointed again

After flopping badly in the three-match Test series against New Zealand, Virat Kohli’s bat did not work even in intra-squad matches. Kohli made a great start to the innings with a brilliant cover drive, but could not stay at the crease for long. After scoring 15 runs, King Kohli was caught out by Mukesh Kumar at second slip. However, according to reports, immediately after getting out, Virat went straight to the practice session and sweated profusely there. Virat’s return to form is very important for the Indian team. Kohli’s record on Australian soil has been excellent.

Pant-Yashasvi also flopped

Even Rishabh Pant, the only batsman who looked in form in the Test series against New Zealand, could not show anything special with the bat in the intra-squad game. Pant was clean bowled by Nitish Reddy after scoring just 19 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was seen struggling for runs on home soil, looked absolutely calm in the intra-squad match. Yashasvi, who came to start the innings, returned to the pavilion after scoring only 15 runs. KL Rahul scored 29 runs, but due to injury he had to leave the field. The first match of the five-match Test series between India and Australia will be played in Perth from November 22.
