Australia vs India Team Preview

Australia

Australia will be concentrating on this match despite the Ashes series starting just after this one. Most of their players have been adjusting to the environment over the past several weeks.

With Peter Handscomb and Matthew Kuhnemann both missing from the camp, there will be at least two changes to Australia’s starting lineup from their previous Test Match. Pat Cummins, the team’s captain, and David Warner will be added. Josh Hazlewood will not play in this game due to a minor injury.

India

India should be a big concern for Australia even though they slowed down in the final two Tests they played against them earlier this year. However, they must be at their best throughout this match from the opening kick.

Before the World Test Championship, KL Rahul joined Rishabh Pant on the sidelines after suffering an injury during the 2023 IPL group stage. With Shubman Gill prepared to open with Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane is anticipated to rejoin the lineup.
