The squad for the next India vs Australia Border Gavaskar Trophy was recently released. The Rohit Sharma-led side had debutants like Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy while other inclusions were on expected lines.

The India vs Australia Test series is generally considered the gold standard of bilateral series in current cricket context.

India have been dominating the series sinxe 2018-19 when it registered a brave win in Australia. Cheteshwar Pujara has been the hero of several India vs Australia series.

His solid resistance was often the differentiator. However, he has not been considered for the Indian team in June 2023. He was ignored this time also.

If only numbers were to be taken into consideration, Virat Kohli would unarguably be India's go-to player with the bat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting next month.

But, despite possessing 8 hundreds and 5 fifties under his belt against Australia (overall in Tests), Kohli's name isn't giving the veteran of Indian cricket much confidence.
