India Under Pressure Ahead Of Perth Test
India are coming into BGT on the back of a disappointing whitewash by the Kiwis at home. Their are selection issues too with Rohit Sharma, the regular skipper of the side unavailable for the opening Test. Shubman Gill is also ruled out due to injury, so India currently have lot of things going against them, and they would be hoping that big players like Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant step up in this series.
It is also an important series in terms of qualification for the WTC final, and it would be interesting to see how the Aussies go about their business after losing the last two Test series at home against India.
