new Delhi. The ODI and T20 series have been played between India and Australia, but now the much awaited Test series is going to start between the two countries. The four-match series will begin with a day-night Test match with Pink Ball between hosts Australia and India from 17 December. Find out about the 11–11 players with the Indian team captained by Virat Kohli in the first match and the Australian team led by Tim Paine.
Talking about the Indian team, in the absence of Rohit Sharma, captain Virat Kohli can start the innings with Shubman Gill with Mayank Agarwal as the opening pair. Apart from this, a change in the team can be seen as a wicketkeeper, in which captain Kohli would like to go with the experienced Wriddhiman Saha. At the same time, if Ravindra Jadeja is not fully fit, then Hanuma Vihari can get a chance in his place, but Jadeja will be included in the playing eleven as a bowler.
Apart from this, Ashwin can also remain in the team as a spinner. The pace bowling unit is expected to be Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav and Jaspreet Bumrah. On the other hand, the Australian team is troubled by injuries. In such a situation, some young faces will be seen in the Kangaroo team, because David Warner will not be present in the first match. In such a situation, the Kangaroo team with Marcus Harris can start the innings. Changes can also be seen in the middle order.
