Win Projections to be updated soon
The first Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024–25 between India and Australia will begin on November 22 at Perth’s Optus Stadium. The Indian squad is exercising hard at WACA Stadium in preparation for the curtain-raiser. During practice, they were struck in the elbow by important players including Sarfaraz Khan and KL Rahul. Alarms have been sparked by Shubman Gill’s finger fracture, even though the injury scare is not that serious.
After playing a practice match against the senior squad, the India A team is anticipated to return home after finishing their two four-day matches against Australia A.
As the backup for Shubman Gill, who might be ruled out of the Perth Test, Devdutt Padikkal
who played for India A, has reportedly been asked by the BCCI to remain in the senior team’s lineup. It is still unclear whether Rohit Sharma will arrive before the first match and whether Gill will be available due to a fractured thumb. The captain of India and his wife, Ritika Sajdeh, recently welcomed their second child in Mumbai.
Rohit Sharma has to get to Australia as soon as possible: Sourav Ganguly.
To qualify for the 2024–25 World Test Championship, India urgently has to win the five-match series 4-0. Since the team was whitewashed at home by New Zealand, they are under close scrutiny. Sourav Ganguly, a former captain of India, has asked Rohit Sharma to get in Australia as soon as possible before the important tour.
The team needs leadership, so I hope Rohit Sharma leaves soon. I’m sure he can go because I think his wife gave birth to a boy last [Friday] evening. He is free to depart as soon as possible, and he ought to be participating in the Perth Test if I were him. The game is one week away.

He’s a great captain, but he won’t be going to Australia after this because it’s a major series. According to Revsportz, Ganguly stated, “India needs his leadership to start with.”
