India are aiming to secure their third consecutive Test series victory in Australia. However, Team India's preparations have been far from ideal. Regular skipper Rohit Sharma will not be available for the opening Test due to the birth of his second child, while India’s number three, Shubman Gill, injured himself while fielding during a match simulation.
The injuries and unavailability of key players will force the team management to rejig India's playing XI. Three pacers—Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and either Harshit Rana or Prasidh Krishna—are likely to feature in the line-up.
With a spot in the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 final at stake, India need to win at least four of the five matches. However, achieving this in challenging Australian conditions will not be easy.
Meanwhile, the hosts' top-order remains inexperienced, and their hopes of avoiding another shambolic defeat rest on seasoned middle-order batters Steven Smith, Travis Head, and Marnus Labuschagne. Additionally, the pace trio of Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood will aim to exploit India's low confidence and dominate from the start of the five-match series.
