Perth weather forecast November 22: What are the chances of rain on Day 1 of IND vs AUS 1st BGT 2024-25 Test?
Team India will take on Australia at the Optus Stadium in Perth starting Friday, November 22 in the first Test of the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The visitors defeated the Aussies during their last two Test visits Down Under and will be looking forward to complete a spectacular hat-trick.
India, however, will be without the services of their skipper Rohit Sharma for the opening match of the series. The 37-year-old decided to skip the Perth Test to spend some time with his family following the birth of his second child. In Rohit's absence, vice-captain and lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah will captain the team.
Australia will be confident of avoiding a third defeat at home against the Indians. The visitors would be a bit low on confidence following the unexpected 3-0 drubbing at home against New Zealand. All their batters, barring Rishabh Pant, struggled against the Kiwis. The Aussies would look to rub salt into India's wounds.
