Virat Kohli: King Kohli is coming to Australia for the fifth time for the Test series. Kohli is the batsman with the best record on Australian soil. The former Indian skipper has scored 1352 runs from 13 matches played so far. His batting average in Australia is 54.08. It has also celebrated six centuries.
Rohit Sharma: Rohit Sharma is the captain of India. Rohit may not play in the first Test due to the birth of his second child. Rohit played seven test matches in Australia and scored 408 runs including three fifties. Rohit was part of the Indian team that won the last two Test series on Australian soil.
Jasprit Bumrah: Bumrah will lead the Indian team for the first Test of the 2024-25 Frontier-Gavaskar Trophy. Bumrah has so far played seven Test matches on Australian soil. He has taken 32 wickets. Bumrah’s brilliance was crucial in India’s series win in Australia in 2018-19. Much of India’s progress on Aussie pitches where the sears are supported will depend on Bumrah’s form.
Ravichandran Ashwin: R Ashwin is India’s best bowler in Test cricket against Australia. Ashwin has dismissed 114 Australian batsmen in 22 matches played so far. He has also taken 39 wickets from 10 matches on Australian soil. Ashwin has shone in Aussie soil not only in bowling but also in batting. Ashwin’s two half-centuries were also crucial in the series win.
Ravindra Jadeja: World number one Ravindra Jadeja, a world test player has played four tests in Australia. He has 14 wickets and 175 runs. The Indian camp hopes that Jadeja’s left-arm spin will trouble the Australian batsmen.
Gill Shubman: Shubman Gill, who made his Test debut for India in Melbourne on 26 December 2020, has played three Tests in Australia. He has scored 259 Test runs in Australia at an average of 51.80. If Gill is in form, he will be a big boost for India in this Test series.
Muhammad Siraj: In the absence of Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Siraj is the second experienced pacer in the Indian team for the Test series against Australia. Siraj, who hails from Hyderabad, made his Test debut during the last Aussies tour. Siraj has taken 13 wickets in the three matches he has played in Australia so far.
