The Indian team is on a tour of Australia for the Border Gavaskar Trophy and in the first match of this series, Team India has won by playing brilliantly. The second match of this series will be played in Adelaide.

For this tour, there is a player in Team India who will not get a chance to play even a single match in the entire series, but due to Gambhir’s insistence, this player is continuously traveling with Team India. Let us tell you who this player is…

India will keep an eye on Adelaide Test

The second Test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy will be played between India and Australia in Adelaide from 6 December. In the first match played at Perth ground, Team India won by showing excellent performance and took a 1-0 lead in the series. In this match, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Harshit Rana made their debut for Team India. Both of them performed brilliantly throughout the match. Along with this, neither of Jadeja and Ashwin was a part of the playing 11 in this match and Washington Sundar was included in their place.

Fast bowlers dominate the bouncy pitches of Australia. In such a situation, it seems difficult for R Ashwin to play any match in this series. Due to this, he did not get a place in the playing 11 for the first Test in Perth. It has rarely happened in the history of Team India that even after Ashwin and Jadeja were available, no one was part of the playing 11. R Ashwin is the highest wicket-taker for India in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. 

Sundar is getting a chance

R Ashwin is an important player of Team India and has been contributing to Test cricket for a long time. He has the highest number of wickets among the players currently playing. He has 536 wickets to his name in Test cricket. However, his performance seems to be declining on the bouncy pitches of Australia. Due to this, Sundar got a chance to play in the first Test in his place. We may get a chance to see this in this entire series as well.
