The upcoming Border-Gavaskar series between India and Australia has generated immense excitement among cricket fans worldwide. However, recent reports have raised concerns about the fitness of two key Indian players: Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. Kohli, who has been struggling with form, participated in a match simulation on Friday, batting without any discomfort despite undergoing a scan the previous day. While sources have confirmed his well-being, the reason for his initial injury scare remains undisclosed.
KL Rahul, who is expected to open the innings in Perth in the absence of captain Rohit Sharma, suffered a blow during the simulation match and was unable to continue. Despite the incident, reports suggest that there are no major concerns regarding his injury. The simulation match provided valuable insights into the form and fitness of the Indian players ahead of the crucial series. Indian batters faced a challenging test against the Australian bowling attack, with Prasidh Krishna and Nitish Kumar Reddy proving particularly difficult to handle.
The first Test of the series is scheduled to begin on November 22nd at the Optus Stadium in Perth. The series will then move to Adelaide for the second Test, a day-night affair, followed by Tests in Brisbane, Melbourne, and finally Sydney. With both teams boasting formidable lineups and a history of intense rivalry, the Border-Gavaskar series promises to be a thrilling spectacle. The fitness of key players like Kohli and Rahul will be crucial for India's chances of success, and fans will be anxiously awaiting further updates on their conditions.
