Perth: This time, India and Australia toured without veteran star Cheteshwar Pujara. Last time, Pujara’s defense gave Australia a headache. The five-match Test series begins in Perth on Friday. Both teams need to win to reach the final of the World Test Championship. But only if India win at least four Tests, they can reach the finals regardless of other teams’ results.
Meanwhile, there are those who hope that the absence of experienced players like Pujara will affect the team. That’s the view of Australian pacer Josh Hazelwood. Hazelwood shared the opinion differently. Hazelwood’s words… “I’m glad Pujara is not here. He is a player who spends a lot of time on the sidelines. He has performed well in previous tours in Australia. “Today, India is playing a mixed eleven,” Hazelwood said in a press conference.

Pujara’s replacement, Shubman Gill, will also not play at number three. He injured his finger during training. Malayalee Talam Devdat Patikal is the agent. A veteran of 103 Tests, Pujara has the best record against Australia on their soil. He has scored 993 runs in 11 matches at an average of 47.28. Pujara was also adjudged the Player of the Series during the 2018–19 tour of India. Pujara has scored five fifties and three centuries in Australia.
India’s probable XI for first test against Aussies: Yashaswi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Devdut Patikal, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (keeper), Dhruv Jural, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Akash Deep, Mohammad Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah (captain).

Wouldn’t mind seeing experienced players take the field, but we need to focus on our game plan and execution. Can you share your thoughts on the potential impact of India’s absence of Pujara and Gill in the batting lineup for this series, and how the team might adjust their strategy in response?
2. Aside from Hazlewood’s comments, do Australian players have any other thoughts or concerns regarding the changed Indian batting lineup? How do they plan on approaching the upcoming series without considering these players’ past performances?
3. As an all-rounder, how do you think Ravindra Jadeja’s role might change in the absence of Gill and Pujara? Will he be asked to bat at a different position or focus more on his bowling? Additionally, how do you see the team managing Dhruv Jural and Devdat Patikal as they’re both relatively inexperienced in Test cricket?
4. The WTC final is on the line for both teams, and India needs to win 4 out of 5 matches to secure their place. How much is the pressure building up ahead of this series, and how do you think that will impact the performance of both teams, considering the high-stakes nature of the competition?
5. from a strategic perspective, which team do you think has the upper hand going into this series? There have been recent talks about Australia having a strong bowling attack, what are your thoughts on that, and how does it compare to India’s bowling lineup?
