India's team management, led by stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah and head coach Gautam Gambhir, is set to surprise with Ravichandran Ashwin as the lone spinner in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth. Ashwin will replace Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar due to the presence of left-handers in the Australian lineup. Additionally, seam-bowling all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy is expected to make his debut, adding depth to India's bowling attack. With a green top expected at the Optus Stadium, India is likely to field three fast bowlers and Ashwin in the XI.
