India Strategizes for Border-Gavaskar Trophy Opener

Young Indian cricketer Yashasvi Jaiswal has made an impressive start in his Test career, scoring three centuries and eight half-centuries in 14 matches, and credits his success to discipline advice from Virat Kohli. Ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, Jaiswal is motivated by Kohli's teachings and is prepared for the challenge. Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah, stepping in as India's captain in Rohit Sharma's absence, is confident despite India's recent 0-3 series loss to New Zealand. Bumrah supports having fast bowlers as captains, noting they are tactically adept, and alongside Pat Cummins, he is advocating for this shift in leadership roles. The team has finalized its playing XI for the first Test but will reveal it only at the toss. Bumrah remains optimistic about the team's ability to adapt and perform in Australian conditions.
