India Today  

India do not have replacements for Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, said Cheteshwar Pujara leading to the Adelaide Test match against Australia. Ashwin and Jadeja did not play the opening Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Optus Stadium in Perth in a pitch that was conducive to fast bowling. Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25: Full Coverage Pujara however believes that there is no chance that India can have the quality of Ashwin and Jadeja in their line-up in the near future. After missing out on the Perth Test, Ashwin and Jadeja are unlikely to get game time in the Adelaide Test match as well.
