Yashasvi Jaiswal

First and foremost is India’s opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is set to take charge for India in the upcoming Adelaide Test. Currently, he is doing an impressive job in the ongoing WTC cycle, having scored more than 1500 runs. He is on track, and in the recently held game at Perth, his 161-run innings served as a boost for him, surely increasing his confidence going into the pink-ball Test.

Nitish Kumar Reddy

Nitish Reddy is the second name who is not only fresh to the pink-ball Test and set to play for the first time at this international stage, but he is also new to the Indian Test camp. Having played wonderfully in the last game at Perth, both with the bat and the ball, where he picked up crucial wickets, it will be interesting to see if he gets a chance to play in the pink-ball Test. There should be some permutations and combinations expected with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill’s entry, but if he gets the chance at the highest level, it will be his first pink-ball Test.

KL Rahul

The senior player in the Indian camp now, KL Rahul, who is expected to open in the second Test match, is also going to be one of the debutants in a pink-ball Test. He is currently enjoying his impressive form as an opener in Australia, but before that, there were lots of questions about his place in the Indian Test team, especially after struggling in recent times. He is also one of the players who will look to make a mark with the pink ball. In the recent outing against the Prime Minister’s XI, he looked comfortable at the top, giving hope that he will come in at the top when he faces Australia in the upcoming Test match.
