The Board of Control for Cricket in India announced Team India for the tour of Australia starting on Saturday (October 4) on Saturday (October 4). Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were also selected in the ODI team, who will be seen playing for the Indian team for the first time after March 2025. At the same time, Shubman Gill will take charge of the team and Shreyas Iyer has been made vice -captain. Apart from all this, 2 new players have also entered the team. These players have managed to make a place in the ODI team after performing a bang in Test and T20.
Team India has to play a series of 3 ODIs and 5 T20 matches on this tour. The tour will start with the ODI series. After winning the Champions Trophy, the Indian team is going to play an ODI series for the first time. For this series, wicketkeeper batsman Dhruv Jurael and all -rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy have also been selected in the team. This is the first time these two players have been elected in the Indian ODI team. Both players are currently part of the Test series being played against the West Indies.
Dhruv Jurlel's recent performance has been quite good. He recently did the feat to score a century in the Ahmedabad Test against the West Indies. He has played 6 Tests and 4 T20 matches for Team India so far. At the same time, Nitish Kumar Reddy has also played 8 Tests and 4 T20 matches for Team India so far. Nitish Kumar Reddy was also part of the Test team on Australia tour last year. Where he scored a memorable century.
Let me tell you, star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant is not part of this tour due to injury, due to which Dhruv Jurlel has been kept in the team. But the ODI team also includes KL Rahul, who is going to be the first choice of the team as a wicketkeeper. In such a situation, KL Rahul's backup will work as wicketkeeper in Jurael series. Due to which it is very difficult for them to get a chance. At the same time, Hardik Pandya has also not been elected for the tour due to injury, due to which Nitish Kumar Reddy can be seen playing the team as a fast bowling all -rounder.
