Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Team India’s strengths and weaknesses going into the series
Team India faces a challenging Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia, grappling with key player absences and the pressure of securing a World Test Championship final spot. Despite the setbacks, Virat Kohli’s impressive Australian record, Rishabh Pant’s form, and Yashasvi Jaiswal’s potential offer hope for the visitors. India will be without the dynamic captain and opener Rohit Sharma and young Shubman Gill for the first Test against Australia in Perth, starting November 22, a significant blow ahead of the much-anticipated series.
