India's Batting Order For 1st BGT Test Accidentally Revealed In Viral Pic From Practice Session?

India vs Australia: Indian cricket team's batting order for first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia may have been accidentally revealed in a viral photo from a practice session in Perth. photo shows Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Devdutt Pikkal in slip cordon, with Dhruv Jurel positioned in gully. This very well suggests that Devdutt Pikkal and Dhruv Jurel may replace injured Shubman Gill and unavailable captain Rohit Sharma in playing XI contrary to media reports that pushed Ruturaj Gaikw and Abhimanyu Easwaran's names.

Team India's batting order revealed?

Devdutt Pikkal and Dhruv Jurel have impressed in recent unofficial Test games against Australia A and appear poised to step up in Perth for first Test match. KL Rahul, who opened in a recent simulated game and has experience in Australian conditions, is also a key option. He will most likely open batting in absence of Rohit Sharma. Dhruv Jurel has been particularly impressive, scoring two half-centuries against Australia A, and will play as a specialist batter with Rishabh Pant taking gloves.

While re is still uncertainty regarding Rohit Sharma's availability for first Test due to personal reasons, and Shubman Gill's absence because of an injury, team management appears to have settled on Devdutt Pikkal and Dhruv Jurel as replacements. This presents a golden opportunity for both players to make ir mark in high-pressure series opener. However, team's official batting order has not been confirmed yet, and fans will have to wait for official announcement.
