IND vs AUS Live Score: Rohit will not play
In the absence of regular captain Rohit Sharma, the Indian team will play in the first match of the five-match Test series against Australia from Friday. Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will take command of the Indian team in this match to be held in Perth. Rohit will be out of this match due to the birth of his second child. The biggest challenge for India will be to find the right combination in this match.

IND vs AUS Live Score: India will be eyeing to make a comeback after forgetting bitter memories
India had defeated Australia on the 2018-19 and 2020-21 tours, but the way New Zealand recently defeated India 3-0 in the Test series on their soil, it must have demoralized the Indian team. It is important for India to forget the old bitter memories and take inspiration from the past performance against Australia. India had to face a crushing defeat in the opening match of the 2020-21 tour and the team was all out for just 36 runs in the second innings of that match played in Adelaide. The Indian team had recovered from the bad phase and was successful in winning the series by winning the next two matches in Melbourne and Brisbane.

IND vs AUS Live Score: Rohit’s absence and Gill’s injury increase concerns
Captain Rohit was already unavailable for this match, but after this Shubman Gill also got injured which increased India’s worries. Gill was injured a few days ago during an intra-squad match and it is almost certain that he will not play in this match. However, bowling coach Morne Morkel had said on Wednesday that any decision regarding Gill would be taken before the start of the match on Friday morning. Gill comes to bat at the third position, so it will be interesting to see which player the Indian team management will pick in his absence. It is believed that Devdutt Padikkal can bat at number three in place of Gill.

IND vs AUS Live Score: Will KL Rahul open?
In Rohit’s absence, KL Rahul can open the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal. Rahul recently opened in the unofficial Test against Australia A. Rahul also could not perform impressively for India A and scored four runs in the first innings and 10 runs in the second innings. However, Rahul has been going through poor form for some time due to which he was kept out of the last two Test matches against New Zealand. Rahul’s record as an opener in Australia is not good. He has scored 183 runs in seven innings of four matches at an average of 26.14 and strike rate of 45.29, which includes one century. However, Rahul was seen sweating profusely during the practice session before the start of the series.

IND vs AUS Live Score: Nitish may get a chance to debut
21-year-old all-rounder Nitish Reddy may get a chance to be included in the playing-11 for the first Test match against Australia. Morkel had hinted at Nitish getting an opportunity. If Nitish is successful in making a place in the playing-11, then he will debut in the red ball format from this match. Nitish started making an impact from the IPL 2024 season, due to which he got a chance to debut in T20 International. Nitish has played only 23 first-class matches, but his medium pace bowling and his ability to score important runs in the lower order can prove to be important for India in overseas conditions.

IND vs AUS Live Score: Jadeja may be given rest
Considering the moisture and bounce in the pitch for the first Test, India can field better off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in place of all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. With Nitish’s inclusion, the team management can give rest to Jadeja as Nitish can play the role of fourth fast bowler along with batting lower down the order. Of India’s top six batsmen in batting, three have never played in Australia and two have Test experience of only four matches. But Yashasvi Jaiswal, Devdutt Padikkal and Dhruv Jurel have confidence. There will be a lot of expectations from Rishabh Pant, India’s best batsman in the last five years and star batsman Virat Kohli.

IND vs AUS Live Score: The probable playing-11 of India and Australia for the first test match is as follows…
India: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Devdutt Padikkal, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel, Nitish Reddy, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah (captain), Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep.
Australia: Nathan McSweeney, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.
