India’s Test team has begun intensive, closed-door preparations in Perth for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, set to start on November 22. With concerns over batting endurance, the focus has been on lasting at the crease against Australia’s strong bowling lineup. Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill’s performances are seen as critical, while past success hinged on Cheteshwar Pujara’s ability to wear down the bowlers. Players are training in lockdown mode, away from media, aiming to master the mental resilience needed for Australia's tough pitches. A challenging series awaits, with a “spicy” pitch likely for the first Test at the Optus Stadium.
