The Australia tour of India 2023 will get underway with the Nagpur test which comprises four tests and three One Day Internationals (ODI). Down below is everything you need to know about India vs Australia Dream11 Prediction, and Fantasy Cricket Tips.
The last time India and Australia met in the test whites in 2020-21, it turned out to be a historic event as the Indians went on to break the shackles and conquer the challenge against Australia on their very own soil. Team India won the four-match test series in 2020-21 by 2-1 and retained coveted India vs Australia test series, which is popularly called the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
Ahead of the test, both India and Australia have endured a couple of injury issues in their squads ahead of the opening test on 9th February. While India will miss the services of Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and pace ace Jasprit Bumrah, the Aussies are set to play the test without the likes of Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc.
The injuries are bound to happen in a game of such high intensity but the entertainment should not stop as the talent pool is huge in both India and Australia.
As per the reports, Australia is likely to hand the overseas debut to Scott Boland, who has given a string of sensational performances in Australia. The tall pacer has scalped 28 wickets in six test outings since his debut against England in 2021.
On the other side, team India is reportedly playing four specialist spinners in its playing XI as the plan is to prepare the rank turners against Australia in the 1st test. The likes of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav will all feature in the playing11 if the report turns out to be true.
