The much-awaited Test series between India and Australia is going to begin with the first Test to be played in Nagpur from 9th February. This Test series will be special for both the teams in many ways. India will be eyeing to step into the final of the ICC World Test Championship for the second time in a row by thrashing the kangaroos in this Test series, and Team India will also be eyeing the first position in the ICC Test rankings by trampling Australia. India is on the first position in T20 and ODI rankings, if the team manages to defeat Australia by 2-0 or 3-1, then it will get the first position in all formats. On the other hand, look at the Australian team, after 2004, this team has never defeated India at home. Along with this, the kangaroos will also be eager to take revenge for the wounds inflicted by India by defeating Australia twice in their own backyard.

Before this important Test series, Indian captain Rohit Sharma must be troubled by three questions, whose solution he will have to find before the Nagpur Test series. Let us know which questions have increased the headache of Rohit Sharma and Team India-

India can go to hell if… Javed Miandad spewed venom

Suryakumar Yadav or Shubman Gill?

Shreyas Iyer being unfit has become a big headache for India ahead of the Border Gavaskar Test series. Iyer was running in amazing form, but due to injury, he will not be able to play at least the first match of the series. In such a situation, the question arises that who will be included in the playing XI by Rohit in his place. At this time Team India has only two options, Suryakumar Yadav or Shubman Gill. If Rohit chooses Gill, it is expected that he will open the innings with him. In such a situation, vice-captain KL Rahul will have to come down to bat at number 5. Gill is looking in excellent form this year. He has recently scored four centuries in the limited overs series, including a double century.

If Rohit Sharma chooses Surya over Gill, then Suryakumar Yadav will be seen batting at No.5. Surya has done exceptionally well in domestic cricket recently, which earned him a place in the squad for the first time. It is expected that Rohit will consider Gill’s name before Surya.

Who will be the three spin bowlers? Will Kuldeep Yadav’s leaf be cut again?

A total of four spinners have been selected for the Border Gavaskar Test series in the form of Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel. It is expected that on the turning track, India will take the field with the strategy of two fast bowlers and three spinners. Now the question is who will be these three spinners? While Ashwin is certain to play, Ravindra Jadeja, who is returning to the team, can make a place in the team on the basis of his all-round performance. Now the screw gets stuck on the third and last spinner. There are two candidates for this, Akshar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. Kuldeep had recently performed brilliantly in the first Test against Sri Lanka, but his leaf was cut from the team as soon as Akshar Patel was fit. This shows that before Kuldeep, importance is being given to Akshar in the team. But the question is whether this will happen even with the arrival of Jadeja. Actually, Jadeja and Akshar Patel are similar bowlers, so it will be interesting to see who Rohit picks as the third spinner.

Who will be the two fast bowlers?

Talking about the group of fast bowlers in the Indian squad, apart from Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav and Jaydev Unadkat have got a place in the squad. It is expected that India will go into the first Test with only two fast bowlers. Considering the form of Mohammad Siraj, it is difficult to keep him out of the team, while Rohit can choose Shami as the second fast bowler. His experience can be of great use to the team on Indian pitches.
