The Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) is one of the most prestigious cricket series, a battle of dominance between two cricketing powerhouses—India and Australia. Named in honour of legends Allan Border and Sunil Gavaskar, the series epitomises cricketing excellence, fiery rivalries, and nail-biting performances. As the excitement builds for the 2024 edition, all eyes are on Team India’s squad and support staff, meticulously assembled to tackle the formidable Aussies.
India will be without captain Rohit Sharma and No. 3 batter Shubman Gill for the first Test against Australia, with Gill sidelined due to a fractured finger.
In light of these developments, the BCCI announced on Sunday that top-order batsman Devdutt Padikkal, who has been part of the India A squad for their two four-day matches, will stay back as a batting backup.
In Rohit’s absence, vice-captain and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah will lead the team. Rohit, who recently became a father for the second time, informed the BCCI that he requires additional time with his family.
Padikkal will join the 18-member squad, filling in for Rohit Sharma for the first Test at the Opus Stadium in Perth.
