The Australian team played the last Test series against the West Indies in January this year, which ended in a 1-1 draw. At the same time, in the previous Test series, India had to suffer a shameful defeat at home against New Zealand by 0-3.Australia have not won a Test series at home against India since 2014-15. Pat Cummins and Co. Are much more eager to beat India this time. On the other hand, Team India wants to maintain its dominance on Australian soil.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma is out of the first Test due to the birth of his second child. There are doubts about his performance in the second match as well. JaspritBumrah will be seen captaining India in place of Rohit. At the same time, Shubman Gill got injured during the practice session and dropped out of the first Test.
