India vs Australia Live Score, 1st Test, Day 1: India and Australia will renew their rivalry in the Border Gavaskar Trophy when both teams face off in the first Test at the Optus Stadium in Perth on Friday (November 22). While Australia are coming into this Test match fresh, the visitors were humiliated 0-3 by New Zealand at home.
A lot of talk has been around Virat Kohli coming into this Test series. Kohli, who has an impressive Test record in Australia, has endured a tough form recently in red-ball cricket and would be eager to get back to form against the best in the world.
To make matters worse, India will be without captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill in Perth. While Rohit is on a paternity leave, Gill was ruled out after injuring his thumb during a training session. That leaves India to go with a relatively youngster-loaded top six. In fact, three players in the Indian top six will play in Australia for the first time.
On a bowling front, Jasprit Bumrah will head the pace attack which will also have Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep. Ravichandran Ashwin is likely to be India’s lone spinner with all-rounder Nitish Reddy expected to make debut.
As far as Australia are concerned, they will go full strength with a pace attack that consists captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazelwood.
