All eyes will be on KL Rahul as India A and Australia A go head-to-head in the second unofficial Test of the shadow tour just two weeks before the senior side of the two cricketing giants go head-to-head in a five-match Test series starting from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth.
India are clearly using the match to prepare for the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT), with KL Rahul and Dhruv Jurel set to play the match after flying early to Australia following the early culmination of the Mumbai Test against New Zealand, in which both were not in the playing XI.
Rahul is set to once again open the batting after playing red-ball cricket in the middle order once again as India search for Rohit Sharma's replacement at the top of the order. The Indian captain is set to miss the Second Test due to personal reasons.
Abhimanyu Easwaran, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Prasidh Krishna will also feature, who are also part of the squad. Mukesh Kumar, Navdeep Saini, and Khaleel Ahmed are part of the reserves of the senior side, and two of them play this match.
