IND vs AUS: The Indian selectors have announced the team for the first two matches of the Test series against Australia starting next month. The selectors, led by Chetan Sharma, have included Suryakumar Yadav, a 360-degree bowler as expected in this team. At the same time, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who has been out of the team for the last five months due to injury, has also got a place in this team. The first match of the Border Gavaskar series begins in Nagpur on February 9, in which Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian team. KL Rahul has been made Rohit's deputy in this team.

Ishaan Kishan and KS Bharat got a chance

Due to Rishabh Pant's injury in the car accident, Ishaan Kishan has been given a chance in the Test team by the selectors. That is, in this important series, he can get a chance to make his Test debut. Apart from him, wicket-keeper KS Bharath, who has been doing consistently well in domestic cricket, has also been included in the 17-member squad by the selectors. He has been selected in the Indian Test team before as well but he has not got a chance to make his debut yet.

Suryakumar Yadav got a place in the Test squad

At present, Suryakumar Yadav, who is making headlines as Mr. 360 degree, has also been given a place in the first two matches against Australia. This selection can be seen as an attempt to present Surya, who has been consistently playing fast, vigorous and long innings in the T20 format, as an X factor in the Test team as well.
