There was bad news from India’s simulation match’s opening session. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, and Virat Kohli were all despatched with relative ease. Due to an injury, KL Rahul has not yet resumed batting.

In preparation for the eagerly awaited first Test match against Australia at the Optus Stadium, team India’s players began their practice session in Perth on November 13. Optus Stadium in Perth will host the first Test of the much awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting on November 22.

For both teams’ hopes of making it to the ICC World Test Championship final, the series is vital. The visitors would be motivated following a humiliating whitewash series loss to New Zealand at home in the three-match Test series, their first Test series loss in home conditions in twelve years, even though the Australians will be hoping to get off to a strong start in their attempt to avoid a hat-trick of series losses to India at home.

Players that attended the session included fast bowler Mohammed Siraj, wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, middle-order batsman KL Rahul, star batsman Virat Kohli, pace leader Jasprit Bumrah, and youthful opener Yashasvi Jaiswal.

The Western Australia Cricket Association (WACA) ground is where India is now practicing. It is anticipated that the renowned venue would be finished with renovations before the upcoming season. Players like Pant, KL, and Jaiswal worked hard in the nets during their hour-long sessions on Tuesday, while more seasoned players like Virat, Bumrah, Jadeja, and Ashwin were absent. A number of local Perth club bowlers were chosen to unleash their bowling on Indian stars as the hitters attempted to acclimatise to the quick and bouncy conditions typical of Australia.
