ind vs aus 1st test match preview border gavaskar trophy india vs australia rohit sharma pat cummins

New Delhi. The upcoming 4-match Test series against Australia (IND vs AUS) is like an ordeal for Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit, known as ‘Hitman’ in world cricket, has led the team well in limited overs cricket so far, but his biggest test is yet to come in Tests. Rohit is going to give the biggest test of his career in the Border Gavaskar Trophy against the Kangaroos.

The first Test match of the series between India and Australia (India vs Australia) will be played from Thursday (February 9) at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. The Kangaroo team, captained by Pat Cummins, has come from host India to settle scores at home. However, it is not easy for any team to beat India at home. In such a situation, the kangaroos will have to face the Brahmastra of the Indian spin.

Careers of many players will be ruined
In this series, which has become a legend on the cricket field, careers of many will be made and many stars will also be grounded. Failure in this may also put a stop to the career of many. One of the biggest rivalries of the cricket field, this series will be closely watched by cricket lovers, critics and the media. Will Rohit Sharma be able to control his urge to play pool shot to Australian captain Pat Cummins? How would Virat Kohli play shots in front of Ashton Agar or Nathan Lyon? Will coach Rahul Dravid prefer Suryakumar Yadav over Shubman Gill?

Kangaroos eyeing to settle scores
Will Akshar Patel prove to be more useful or Kuldeep Yadav? Answers to all these questions will be found in this series. Cummins and his team have the pain of losing the series on their soil in the last two times (2018-19 and 2020-21) and they have come this time with the intention of taking revenge. By the way, it will not be that easy for them either because the pitch can take a turn from day one. The series between India and Australia since 2001 has seen better cricket than the Ashes. If this group of Australian cricket team has to match the players of 2004 team like Matthew Hayden, Justin Langer, Glenn McGrath or Adam Gilchrist then this series will have to be won.

Lion threatens Indian batsman
Rohit has been missing all the Tests against big teams due to injury or illness. Be it a series against South Africa in 2022 or a Test against England. Now the challenge before him is to take India to the World Test Championship final once again like Virat Kohli. For this, India will have to keep a margin of two matches in victory. Rohit’s Brahmastra is his spin quartet, out of which three are sure to play. Similarly, their batsmen will also have to play Lion carefully.

Akshar or Kuldeep? who will get the chance
The biggest decision for Rohit will be to choose between Akshar or Kuldeep and Akshar is looking more likely. If India goes with four spinners, then Ravichandran Ashwin can be handed the new ball. By the way, fast bowlers can also get reverse swing on a dry looking pitch, so in such a situation, Mohammad Shami and Mohammad Siraj will prove to be useful.

Cummins and Boland will handle the responsibility of the new ball
Australia, on the other hand, can field Agar as Lion’s partner due to his better batting record at the lower order. Scott Boland will handle the new ball with Cummins. Australia has four batsmen in which David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Travis Head and Alex Carey are set to play. In the absence of Cameron Green, the additional batsman will be either Peter Handscomb or Matt Renshaw.
