India's Lucky Chance Against Aussies: All-Round Attack Expected Against Australia
In a significant turn of events, India is expected to field an all-round attack in the first Test against Australia in Perth without Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill.
According to sources close to the team, skipper KL Rahul will lead the side on the Perth Cricket Ground's iconic rectangular field. With the absence of India's opening batsmen, the team manager is expected to give an opportunity to Ishan Kishan and Ayush Badoni as the likely first-seamer-pair or even second spinner duo.
Karan Sumanaril has been a potential player in Test cricket, where he will get his maiden international game. Apart from Ishan-Ayush, wicketkeeper-batsman Prithvi Shaw is also predicted to contribute runs with his consistent performances in previous two series for the Indian team.
With India expectedly opting on all-round batting and an aggressive form of playing style to counter Australia's attack without the pacers in the team. With these chances of playing a thrilling Test against an explosive Australian attack at Perth - will India be able to contain their rivals or succumb under their attacking pressure?
