The first test between India and Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is all set to kickstart tomorrow. The first test will be played at Nagpur and a lot has already been talked about the pitch. As per the initial analysis, Australia will be going forward with only four specialist bowlers and an extra specialist batsman in place of allrounder Cameron Green. One from the Handscomb or Matt Renshaw is going to play the first test.
The last time India, and Australia played the BGT, India invaded the Gabba fortress. Australia is seeking vengeance. However, India will always look strong at home. With the pitch being dry, the Nagpur pitch is expected to be a rank turner. Ravichandran Ashwin is going to play a crucial role in the setup as Australia is going to play five left-handers in their top seven. The playing XI combination of both teams will be announced on match day.
