Abhimanyu Easwaran As Backup Opener: Abhimanyu has been a reserve cricketer with the Indian team in several series. India played in this team. Dileep led the trophy. But did not debut in the Indian team. Abhimanyu Easwaran will get that opportunity this time? Rohit Sharma may not play in the first Test against Australia. If Rohit does not play, can Abhimanyu make his debut in the Indian team? He is in the head of coach Gautam Gambhir.

There are doubts about Rohit's performance in the first Test. The news is that he will not go with the team. Rohit and Yasshwi Jaiswal have been India's openers for the past few series. If Rohit is not there, who will come down to bat with Yashwi? In response to this question, Gambhir said, "If Rohit does not play, then I will decide on this before the start of the Test." There is Lokesh Rahul. There is Abhimanyu. One of the two will play. We will try to field the best XI." Shubman Gill opened for India earlier in the Test. He is also in the team. Gambhir has also left confusion about whether Shubman will open or not.

Time is not going well for Rohit and Kohli. They have no runs in the bat. The question is, this time, India's two senior batsmen have to be left out? Gambhir does not think so. According to him, Rohit and Virat's hunger for runs shows how much cricket is left between them. "We are not worried about their form at all," he said. They have played very well in the past. They are still hungry for runs. If you don't get runs in a few series, you can't point fingers at Rohit, Kohli." Earlier, Gambhir spoke for Kohli before every series. He was seen doing the same thing once more.

Rahul did not get a place in the middle order in the New Zealand series. Gambhir thinks that Rahul is one of the best cricketers in the world. According to him, Rahul can handle many responsibilities simultaneously. Gambhir said, “He can bat anywhere in the top order, middle order, lower order. Also performs the duty of wicketkeeper in white ball cricket. How many countries in the world have a cricketer like Rahul? We need him.”

Is the Indian team going through an evolution again? Are the new ones ready to take the place of the old? Gambhir refuses to think about all that now. His eyes are on the five-Test series against Australia. Played badly against New Zealand and lost. Gambhir had to listen to criticism for that. He said, from the time he took charge of the coach, he knew that he would have to fall into this situation. So for the time being, he forgot all about the Australia series. Gambhir wants to return to victory.
