On 22nd November, Indian time, at 7.50 AM, the first test match between India and Australia will start. And on 21st November, at 3 PM, according to Indian time, the new team of India has been announced. The score has changed 17 hours ago.
India has to play 5 test series against Australia. The first match will start at 7.50 AM on 22nd November. And on 21st November, at 3 PM, there is a mail from BCCI.
BCCI gives information on social media that now you will see a new team India on the field. So what are the changes? Let me tell you. So if we look at the team, Rohit Sharma, Jaspreet Bumrah, Yashashvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Ishwaran, Devdutt Padikkal.
Yes, the new player who has entered the Indian team for the test series against Australia, his name is Devdutt Padikkal.
After that, I will tell you about the whole team and the reason behind the changes. Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jorel, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammad Siraj, Aakash Deep, Prasit Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar.
So now you will see this player as a part of the team India squad against Australia. And he will be available for selection against Australia.
And let me tell you, Rohit Sharma is on leave now. His son was born. Because of which Rohit Sharma is not a part of the first test match.
And we are talking about Shubman Gill. Shubman Gill had an injury on his hand and his finger during fielding. Because of which Shubman Gill is not a part of the first test match.
That is, two of the 18 players in the Indian squad are not available for the first test match. And because of this, a new player has entered the Indian team and his name is Devdutt Padikkal. Now Devdutt Padikkal has come to the Indian team. You have announced the new team India 17 hours ago.
But the question is, will Devdutt Padikkal come to the playing 11 of the Indian team? Because you included him in the squad overnight. And before that, if I talk about your player Abhimanyu Ishwaran. You had added Abhimanyu Ishwaran to the squad about a month before Devdutt Padikkal.
And you included Abhimanyu Ishwaran in the team because he had made a lot of runs in domestic cricket. That’s why you took him in the team. And now suddenly, Devdutt Padikkal comes to the Indian team.
There is no clarity. Suddenly, the team changes. So, won’t Abhimanyu Ishwaran get a chance in the playing 11? The player you selected a month ago based on his domestic performance.
Won’t you let him play in the playing 11? These are all the questions that will arise. And then we will see how the performance is. According to me, Devdutt Padikkal has to come in the team.
Because your two batsmen are not available. But if someone has to play in the playing 11, then it is Abhimanyu Ishwaran. And what can be your opening? Your KL Rahul and Yashashvi Jaiswal can open.
Abhimanyu Ishwaran can come at number 3 Virat Kohli can come at number 4 So, these can be your top 4 But the news that is coming is that Devdutt Padikkal will be played at number 3 And that Devdutt Padikkal who had joined the Indian team 17 hours ago.
Though he has been practising for 3-4 days. But in BCCI, the work is more slow than the government work. It takes a lot of time. Even in giving the information to the media.
He informed the media 17 hours before the match started. Means he was informed a day before the match. And he has been with the Indian team for the last 4-5 days. So, 17 hours ago, the announcement of the new team India was made.
And what you saw on the ground against Australia. According to you, Abhimanyu Ishwaran should play. Or comment on Devdutt Padikkal and let us know.
