KL Rahul’s dismissal raises question
Rahul viewed this game as an opportunity to prove his worth and secure a spot in India’s Test squad for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. However, his current form poses a significant concern for Team India. Following their defeat against South Africa in the recent three-match Test series, the Indian team is already low on confidence and needs players who can step up and play fearless cricket. Unfortunately, KL Rahul seems far from being carefree; he is under considerable pressure, which is evident in his batting. India will undoubtedly consider this aspect carefully before finalizing the playing XI for the IND vs. AUS 1st Test.
Team India depart for Australia
Team India will travel to Australia in two groups, departing on November 10 and 11. According to TOI sources, logistical challenges prevented the entire squad from being accommodated on a single commercial flight. This phased departure plan ensures that the team arrives in Perth well ahead of the first Test, which is set to start on November 22.
