Kl selection is for opener slot.it depends on Rohit's availability.It means Pant is the keeper and KL is not playing. RIGHT??
Nothing is uncertain as Ritika delivery date is around 18,19 and 20th November if Rohit wanted to not play 1st test ,he would have not travelling with Indian team . he is going to play 1st test then may return to india for few days as gap between 1st and 2nd test is 9 day's .As per reports:
Rohit Sharma will travel with the Indian team to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, but his participation in the first Test remains uncertain due to personal reasons. The BCCI has included Abhimanyu Easwaran as a backup, and KL Rahul could open alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal if Rohit is unavailable.
The team is also dealing with the aftermath of a 0-3 defeat to New Zealand, with a six-hour review meeting held to discuss the performance and future strategies
He wants a red carpet treatmentVirat Kohli arrives in Perth ahead of 1st Test vs Australia: Squad coming in batches
Star India cricketer Virat Kohli arrived in Perth ahead of the 1st Test vs Australia as part of the Border Gavaskar Trophy series. The 36-year-old was the first one among the jumbo India squad to land in Australia. He quickly whisked away after landing at the Perth airport and will soon be in his practice mode for the all-important series. The Indian team is leaving in two batches for the Border Gavaskar series. As per reports, the Indian team will begin their training at the WACA ground from Tuesday ahead of the Perth Test. However, the venue is on lockdown in a bid to keep the Indian camp strictly behind closed doors.
The first set of batch included players like Shubman Gill, Akash deep, Washington Sundar, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Mohammad Siraj, who are en route to Australia alongside the coaching staff. Meanwhile, Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir addressed a pre-departure press-conference in Mumbai on November 11. The next batch is set to fly out today, Monday. However, India Today learnt that the Indian captain, Rohit Sharma, did not travel with the team and might stay back in India due to the birth of his 2nd child. Uncertainty remains over Rohit's participation in 1st Test and Jasprit Bumrah will lead the side in his absence, as informed by Gambhir.
Kohli was spotted at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai late at night on Sunday. Kohli was accompanied by his wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, and their children, Vamika and Akaay Kohli. As they stepped out of their car, Kohli requested the paparazzi not to take pictures of Anushka and the kids, emphasising their preference for privacy. However, Kohli himself obliged and posed for photos with the media before heading inside the airport.
Gambhir has backed senior batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma after criticism from former Australia captain Ricky Ponting. Notably, Ponting recently commented on Kohli's form, saying that any other player wouldn't have survived in the team had he scored just two hundreds in five years. Kohli will be aiming to roar back to form vs Australia after a not-so impressive outing in the home Test series.

We can escape siraj atrocities or bumrah can get restShami will feature in the encounter against Madhya Pradesh in Indore which starts on Wednesday, November 13.
India should include shami for BGT after proving his fitness .this is long series and 2nd test starting date is 6 Dec.
He can easily fit for 2nd test .
I guess he did get a big welcome from the local newspapers!He wants a red carpet treatment
Guy who averages 30 in the last 5 years. Please welcome him lads.
Clap your hands.
Err Ponting should have made the headlines with this: 'Why is Virat Kohli in the Indian test side' ?The start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is still a few days away but a war seems to have begun between Gautam Gambhir and Ricky Ponting. The India head coach didn't take Ponting's comments on under-fire Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma well, suggesting the former Australia skipper to stick to his own team.
Now, Ponting too has shared his reaction on the comments made by Gambhir in the press conference ahead of the team's flight to Australia, calling the India head coach a '*****ly character'.
"I was surprised to read the reaction but knowing the coach, Gautam Gambhir ... he's quite a *****ly character, so I'm not surprised it was him who said something back," Ponting said on 7News.
Ponting also clarified that his comments on Virat weren't meant as an insult or criticism by any means. The Australia legend feels the India star will regain his lost form and deliver Down Under, a region where he has done well previously as well.
"In no way was it a dig at him (Kohli). I actually followed it up by saying he's played well in Australia and he'll be keen to bounce back over here...If you ask Virat, I'm sure he would be a little bit concerned that he hasn't been able to make the same amount of hundreds as he has in previous years," he said.
"So it's amazing how little things can get cut up, but he's a class player and he's played well in Australia in the past."
Gambhir was informed of Ponting's comments by a reporter during a pre-series press conference on Monday. He gave a sharp reply to the Australia great's remarks on Kohli and Rohit.
"What does Ponting have to do with Indian cricket?" Gambhir had said. "He should think about Australian cricket. I don't have any concerns. They (Kohli and Rohit) are incredibly tough men; they've achieved a lot for Indian cricket and are going to achieve a lot in future as well."
Gambhir's comments in the presser came after Ponting had questioned Kohli's place in the team over poor Test form.
"I saw a stat the other day about Virat. It said he's only scored two Test hundreds in the last five years. That didn't seem right to me, but if that is accurate, then that's a concern," Ponting had said. "There probably wouldn't be anyone else still playing international cricket as a top-order batsman who's only scored two Test match hundreds in five years."

Wow they really want to milk it.Not bothered about hindi commentary when pak was in aus (last year )but doing all kind of enough hype for moolah this timeFans in Australia can hear Hindi Commentary during Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 through Channel 7
He can do it in Aus not elsewhere.Gambhir should stay away from press conferences.His approach seems to be suited not for Man management but for man handling
BGT has the taken the status of best test series in World cricket .Wow they really want to milk it.Not bothered about hindi commentary when pak was in aus (last year )but doing all kind of enough hype for moolah this time
Ashes > BGTBGT has the taken the status of best test series in World cricket .
BGT> Ashes . Who care about Pakistan test series in australia where they don't even drawn a single test since 1995 .
Lol bro , are you into getting Pak posters riled upBGT has the taken the status of best test series in World cricket .
BGT> Ashes . Who care about Pakistan test series in australia where they don't even drawn a single test since 1995 .
Lol he knows he will lose it that’s why he is talking.Maybe we will lose this series this time due to Gambhir's attitude! Shastri & Dravid were way way better in their own ways without creating negative impacts!
I replied to @Vikram1989 and he said No one bothered about Hindi/ Urdu commentary during pakistan tour of Australia ( Test )Lol bro , are you into getting Pak posters riled up
Chappel says hiLol he knows he will lose it that’s why he is talking.
In few weeks he will become the worst test coach for India beating Duncan Fletcher.
It's not about whitewash but revenue. Aussies did not cared even for that miniscule.Any how here channel 7 shows news for 30 mnts and asks users to use different channel to irk an immersed Audience.I hope they don't create such drama in the hindi channel where mostly our elders will watch.I replied to @Vikram1989
But i stated the facts as no one care about Pakistan test series in australia knowing the result already - a whitewash.
In Tests Chappel wasn’t as bad…Chappel says hi
Issue was every player was in prime form/age and he made a mess with his nonsense.Atleast Fletcher got mostly washed up seniors like gambhir and he tried to build.one more issue was we had mostly sena tours in his period .Dhoni too did not bothered much about Tests /pace bowlers for sena tours after 2011 victory.In Tests Chappel wasn’t as bad…
Greg only messed up Sachin no one else, we had to lose 2007 wc to win the T20 wc, the tough decisions 2007-11 could be taken because Greg Chappel exposed Ganguly who wasn’t good enough for any format.Issue was every player was in prime form/age and he made a mess with his nonsense.Atleast Fletcher got mostly washed up seniors like gambhir and he tried to build.one more issue was we had mostly sena tours in his period .Dhoni too did not bothered much about Tests /pace bowlers for sena tours after 2011 victory.
Result is matter the most . results earn the respect and its showing now how Australians ( Media/ fans / ex players) are treat Virat Kohli and team indiaIt's not about whitewash but revenue. Aussies did not cared even for that miniscule.Any how here channel 7 shows news for 30 mnts and asks users to use different channel to irk an immersed Audience.I hope they don't create such drama in the hindi channel where mostly our elders will watch.
I just hope jaiswal don't become like another king from pak.He needs to score good to earn respect from all .He will have to face music in next eng series too .Tough 2 test tours ahead for him and Gill.Forget about Virat ,heck they even name newbies jaiswal as " new king" . Previous Australia generation didn't even take any newbie players seriously.
I don't have much hopes because he has some weakness,he has played away from his body to balls moving away from him, resulting in edges behind. Cummins and Hazlewood are going to target his weakness.I just hope jaiswal don't become like another king from pak.He needs to score good to earn respect from all .He will have to face music in next eng series too .Tough 2 test tours ahead for him and Gill.
Best of all gaikwad may debut in place of opening and ddp in placeof gill as per cb.it seems gaikwad was water tight with his defence as per cb (?)If india pick kl rahul rohit and kohli then I hope they get hammered. I need to see their careers end in one test. Cut the losses.
Kohli at this rate is not an option at all.Bumrah can step in for hazlewood .jadeja/washi/aswin are lot better than Lyon when both aspects are combined.Bhartiya players that can cake walk into Aussie side - Jaiswal, Gill, Kohli, Pant, Ashwin
@Devadwal agree or not?
Cummins is arrogant and when a broadcaster were asked about who will be your four Semifinals team for World T20 2024 , he said certainly australia and three you can chose whichever you likes. But India knocked them out in group staged itself.Bhartiya players that can cake walk into Aussie side - Jaiswal, Gill, Kohli, Pant, Ashwin
@Devadwal agree or not?
Love the confidence. If your players can walk into their side you will win this series no problem.Bhartiya players that can cake walk into Aussie side - Jaiswal, Gill, Kohli, Pant, Ashwin
@Devadwal agree or not?
We have already beaten already four successive series ( Twice in australia) so one series lose is not a benchmark at all .Love the confidence. If your players can walk into their side you will win this series no problem.
Bro that is fine lol. He is just backing his buddies. His team mates. Our players do it too.Cummins is arrogant and when a broadcaster were asked about who will be your four Semifinals team for World T20 2024 , he said certainly australia and three you can chose whichever you likes. But India knocked them out in group staged itself.
Bumrah > Any australian pacers
So atleast 5-6 players from both sides and its depends on conditions .
In indian conditions only Two -three Australian player's can include in BGT team .Yes We were lost last last series in India but indian team home dominance was for more than a decade.
Cummins forget that he is yet to win a BGT .
That's true. But after heavy defeat vs nz we need to show some spine. I will take a draw lolWe have already beaten already four successive series ( Twice in australia) so one series lose is not a benchmark at all .
That white wash should not be forgiven even if we beat Australia 5-0 (not like it will happen). That is the most embarrassing Indian series loss i have ever seen. Two senior dead weights caused that embarrassment.That's true. But after heavy defeat vs nz we need to show some spine. I will take a draw lol
My blood boils bro. Still not over it.That white wash should not be forgiven even if we beat Australia 5-0 (not like it will happen). That is the most embarrassing Indian series loss i have ever seen. Two senior dead weights caused that embarrassment.
