The Indian cricket team is going to play a 5 Test match series with Australia in Australia from 22 November. It is very important for the Indian team to win this Test series. If Team India wins this Test series, then it can be seen playing in the final of the World Test Championship for the third consecutive time.
And if it loses, then 5 star players of the Indian team can be dropped from the Test team forever along with this series. That is, the Border Gavaskar Trophy can be the last Test series of their career. So let us know who are those 5 players for whom the Australia Test series could be the last series of their career.
Rohit Sharma
The current captain of the Indian Test team, Hitman Rohit Sharma, has turned 37 years old and if Team India fails to win the Border Gavaskar Trophy under his captaincy, then the BCCI can remove him from the Test team forever, because along with captaincy, he has not been able to show anything special with the bat in the last few matches.
Virat Kohli
Former Test captain of the Indian cricket team Virat Kohli has also not had a special performance in Test cricket since 2019. In such a situation, if his bat does not roar in the Australia Test series or Team India does not win the series, then he can also be dropped.
R Ashwin
India’s veteran spin bowling all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin has turned 38 and he is given a chance to play very few matches outside India. In such a situation, after the Australia Test series, he can also be dropped from the team due to age.
Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja’s performance has been good at the moment but he is getting older now and BCCI is paying more attention to young players, due to which he can also be dropped from the team after the Australia Test series. If India does not win.
KL Rahul
One of the star wicketkeeper batsmen of Team India, KL Rahul’s performance in Test cricket has also not been very good. His form in Tests has been unstable in recent times. In such a situation, if Australia does not get good runs from his bat in the Test series, then he will also be shown the way out of the Test team and Dhruv Jurel will become a part of the permanent playing 11 in his place.
However, if Team India wins this series by a good margin and all the players perform well, then BCCI may not drop any of these five.
