Suryakumar Yadav may debut in Test cricket, captain Rohit Sharma made a big statement about playing against Australia in Nagpur

Nagpur. India skipper Rohit Sharma did not reveal his batting and bowling line-up preferences in the first Test against Australia, saying he would go with a ‘pitch-based’ approach in the much-anticipated series. Rohit was specifically asked who is his pick between Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill as there have been enough indications that the team management will not drop out-of-form vice-captain Lokesh Rahul. Responding to this question, Rohit said, “Tomorrow morning at nine o’clock at the time of the toss.”

Shubman has been in fine form while Suryakumar Yadav has the ability to disturb the pace of experienced bowlers like Nathan Lyon and the Indian skipper has made it clear that a player’s form will be as important as his skill on a particular pitch while picking the playing XI. Attention will be given. Rohit said, “It will be a tough decision. We know that many players are in good form, it is a good sign for the team. “He said,” Selection is an issue and it shows that many players are performing well.

It is very important from the team point of view, we just have to look at each and every pitch and pick the best XI. We have been doing this in the past as well and will do the same in future also. We are ready to feed players depending on the pitch. Whatever the pitch, whatever we need, we will include it in the team. It’s a simple thing.” Asked who is better between Suryakumar and Shubman considering the Jamtha pitch, Rohit said, “They give us different options. Gill has been in very good form for the last three to four months. Made a lot of big centuries too. Suryakumar has shown in T20 what he is capable of and how he can play in Test cricket as well. Looking at the aspects, which of the two will play for us.

Rohit also did not reveal whether he would prefer KS Bharath over Ishan Kishan. He said, “You have to take a bold decision. The way Rishabh has batted, he has been important for us. We have players who can operate in the middle order. You will need to play traditional cricket as well, our top order is strong and all players are scoring runs and hopefully we can get those things back tomorrow when we start the match. A section of the Australian media, known for creating an atmosphere, has already alleged that the Jamtha pitch has been changed before a single ball has been bowled. Rohit said, “Our focus is on playing, last series when we played here there was a lot of talk about the pitches and all 22 are level players and it does not matter how much the ball turns or seams.” ‘

It is being suggested that along with Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav and Akshar Patel should also be fed. Rohit praised all four but did not reveal who would play, saying, “All four are class bowlers and Jadeja and Ashwin have played a lot of cricket together.” I think whenever Akshar and Kuldeep got a chance, they put the batsmen under pressure. Got wickets.

“It’s a great sign to have all four available and three of them are quality all-rounders,” said the Indian skipper. Rohit also said there is no particular way to play a veteran spinner like Nathan Lyon. When Rohit started leaving, he came to the press box and saw some Australian media people trying to test the pitch, to which he said, “Itna pitch mat dekha yaar.” play cricket
