Team India suffered a crushing defeat against Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The performance of the Indian players, led by Rohit Sharma, was disappointing, and they lost the series 3-1. At the same time, both teams are going to face each other once again in the Test series. During this time, many changes can be seen in the Indian team. So, let us know what India’s 16-member team (Team India) can be like for the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
India will play a test series against Australia
After losing to Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, the Indian team (Team India) faced a lot of criticism. The team failed to perform well in both the batting and bowling departments. Australia managed to crush India in the Test series after almost 10 years. However, after this, Team India would now like to give a befitting reply to the Kangaroo team by winning the Border Gavaskar Trophy to be played after two years. Five Test matches will be played between the two teams in January-February 2027.
There will be a change in Team India
Team India may be seen in a new color in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2027. It is being speculated that before its organization, many strong players may announce their retirement, due to which young players will be given a chance in the team. This Test series against Australia also seems impossible for Indian captain Rohit Sharma. After his continuous poor performance in Tests, it is being said that he may say goodbye to this format. In his absence, Rishabh Pant can be given the command of the team. He has experience of captaining in IPL and domestic cricket.
The command will be in the hands of this player
Apart from Rohit Sharma, it seems difficult for Indian veteran spinner Ravindra Jadeja to play in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2027. Due to increasing age, the 36-year-old player may retire from international cricket. Let us tell you that last year during the ongoing Test series against Australia, Ravichandran Ashwin announced his retirement. Since then, discussions have started about Ravindra Jadeja’s retirement. At the same time, now his Test career also does not seem to be very long.
India Probable Squad: Rishabh Pant (WK/Captain), Jasprit Bumrah (VC), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar.
