Delhi: Under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the five-Test series between India and Australia will start from November 22 in Perth. This ground is considered favorable for fast bowlers, due to which the role of spinners is limited. In such a situation, the Indian team can enter the first test with only one spinner.

According to the report, Ravichandran Ashwin is likely to get priority over Ravindra Jadeja. Such a decision can be taken considering the ‘match-up’ strategy of Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir. Keeping in mind the high number of left-handed batsmen in the Australian team, Gambhir wants to include Ashwin in place of Ravindra Jadeja in the first Test.
The Indian team management believes that there will not be much opportunity for spin bowling in the first three days at the Optus Stadium, famous for fast bowlers, so the team is planning to go with three fast bowlers, a fast bowling all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy and Ashwin. .
Ashwin may get a chance
Ashwin, who has dismissed the most left-handed batsmen in Test history, had troubled batsmen like Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne a lot in the last series. He has vast experience of playing in Australia, where he has played 10 Tests. Ashwin’s average has been better than Australia’s leading spinner Nathan Lyon.
At the same time, Ravindra Jadeja has played only 4 matches in Australia, while Washington Sundar has limited experience. Because of this, Ashwin’s selection is considered almost certain.
