IND vs AUS 1st Test: India’s likely playing XI sans Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill in Perth

Live Mint  

The absence of captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill from the first Test against Australia in Perth has jeopardised India's plans ahead of the much-important Border Gavaskar Trophy. Gill fractured his thumb while fielding at slips during India's intra-squad game against India A. Rohit, who became a father for the second time last week, stayed back to be beside his family in India and is expected to join the side ahead of their practice game against the Australian Prime Minister's XI, starting later this month. Notably, Padikkal was one of the centurions for India A in the first unofficial Test against Australia A. Rishabh Pant will take the No.5 slot. Dhruv Jurel cemented his spot in the playing XI at No.6 with 80 and 68 for India A in the second unofficial Test on a pitch where most his teammates struggled.
