India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Streaming and Live Telecast: The first of five Test matches between India and Australia gets underway in Perth, with Jasprit Bumrah leading India in Rohit Sharma's absence.

India will be hoping to bounce back from their embarrassing 0-3 home series defeat suffered at the hands of New Zealand. India are set to go in with three frontline pacers for the match, and are expected to hand all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy his Test debut. On the other hand, Nathan McSweeney will make his debut for Australia, having been selected as their new opener.

"He Doesn't Need To...": Pat Cummins' Advice To Australia Rookie Nathan McSweeney

Rookie opener Nathan McSweeney will be entering his maiden Test series with a lot riding on him, but Australia captain Pat Cummins on Thursday offered him some comforting advice, saying he should focus on playing his natural game and not "imitate" his predecessor -- the great David Warner.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan feels that Australia's frontline bowling quartet of Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins are arguably the nation's best of all time and are key to victory for Australia in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against India at home. India won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia the last two times it was played there in 2018/19 and 2020/21.

Yash Dayal Replaces Injured Khaleel Ahmed In India Reserves For Australia Tests

Left-arm seam bowler Yash Dayal has been added to India's reserve pacers' list after Khaleel Ahmed had to be sent back home due to an unspecified niggle. Dayal, who was added in the Test squad during the Bangladesh series, was in South Africa for the T20I series but didn't play a single match. He flew directly to Perth from Johannesburg after Khaleel developed a niggle and was unable to bowl in the nets. The medical team advised the Rajasthan left-armer rest and hence it was decided that Dayal would fly in while Khaleel fly back home.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 auction is just round the corner and a number of big names are all set to go under the hammer. From Shreyas Iyer to Rishabh Pant, there are several superstars who are capable of fetching a huge price but former Indian cricket team all-rounder Irfan Pathan has made a huge prediction. Pathan took to social media to back Pant when it comes to getting the biggest price in the auction and he went on to say that even Mitchell Starc's record of Rs 24.75 Crore will be in danger.

Big Challenge For Virat Kohli And Co? Australia Set To Serve 'Green' Pitch Test To Team India

Australia may be preparing a green pitch for Team India for the first Test match at the Optus Stadium in Perth. As per a report, the Optus outfield and pitch could be seen to still be quite green, which would aid fast bowlers. As such, Australia's famed pace bowling trio of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and captain Pat Cummins could be a big threat for India in the first Test. The pitch conditions would also suggest that India may head into the match with one spinner.

"I Know What Works For Me...": Nathan McSweeney Ahead Of Test Debut Against India

Nathan McSweeney has been tasked to open on his Australia debut despite not being a specialist in that position but he remains unfazed ahead of his big test in the series opener against India beginning on Friday. McSweeney was picked in the squad for the first Test ahead of regular openers including Marcus Harris. The 25-year-old got a national call-up following a decent outing against India A earlier this month. He bats at number three in domestic cricket. He faced the formidable trio of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood in the Australia nets here on Monday and looked in control.

Virat Kohli Receives 'Shoulder Charge' Warning From Australia Star: "When He Gets To..."

As India take on Australia in a five-match Test series, star batter Virat Kohli will look to break multiple records during the tour. The former India captain will also look to make amends after a disastrous home Test series against New Zealand. Kohli needs 458 runs during the five-match series to become India's all-time leading run scorer in Tests at Australia. By doing so, Kohli would surpass batting great Sachin Tendulkar, who toured Australia for the final time during the 2011-12 series. Kohli currently has 1,352 runs in 13 Tests at an average of 54.08, needing 458 more to dethrone Sachin at the top.
