KL Rahul is currently struggling to bring his A-game out. The batsman was rested after the first Test match against New Zealand. Later, he also parted ways with his Indian Premier League's (IPL) franchise, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) ahead of the 2025 edition.

Ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, there are speculations about Team India skipper Rohit Sharma missing out on the first game. In case the skipper misses out, his deputy Jasprit Bumrah will take over the leadership duties, said Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir during a press conference.

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is set to kick start on November 22, with the first Test match scheduled to be played in Perth.

The second Test, scheduled for December 6 to 10 at Adelaide Oval, will feature the exciting day-night format under the stadium's lights. After that, fans will turn their attention to The Gabba in Brisbane for the third Test, which will be held from December 14 to 18.

The customary Boxing Day Test, set for December 26 to 30 at Melbourne's storied Melbourne Cricket Ground, will bring the series to its penultimate stage.

The fifth and final Test, to take place at the Sydney Cricket Ground from January 3 to 7, will serve as the series climax, promising a dramatic conclusion to an exciting contest.
