IND vs AUS, 1st test live streaming: When and where to watch India vs Australia

The highly anticipated first Test between India and Australia is set to begin on Friday at the Optus Stadium in Perth. This match marks the opening of the five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. After a surprising 3-0 defeat against New Zealand at home, Team India is eager to make a strong comeback in Australia.

Rohit Sharma will miss this Test as he is on paternity leave, having recently welcomed his second child. In his absence, Jasprit Bumrah will lead the Indian team. Additionally, Shubman Gill is unlikely to play due to a thumb injury sustained during an intrasquad training match. Devdutt Padikkal, who was part of the India A squad, is expected to fill the number 3 spot, with KL Rahul likely to open the innings alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Dhruv Jurel may feature in the playing XI as a batsman, given his impressive performance with India A in Australia. Rishabh Pant will take on the wicketkeeping duties. The Australian team, considered strong in home conditions, will challenge the Indian batters with their formidable pace attack, including Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, and Mitchell Starc.
