Suryakumar Yadav is likely to make a debut in the upcoming 1st Test match between India and Australia at Nagpur. In the absence of Rishabh Pant India lacks a batter who can take the game on and counterattack the lethal Australian bowling line-up. India has won last three Test series between India and Australia and the team led by Rohit Sharma needs to be at the top of their game to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Suryakumar Yadav to Debut in Test Cricket
Sources from the cricketing world are claiming that Suryakumar Yadav will be inducted into the Indian playing XI for the first Test. His 360 degree batting abilities can prove to be a game changer in the crunch situation against Australia in the 1st Test.
Even though Shubman Gill is in supreme batting form, the Indian cricket team can surprise Australia by not including him in the playing XI. Since KL Rahul is the vice captain of the team he is going to play for sure.

Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul have done well for India in the longest format of the game as openers. Shubman Gill may have to sit out as he is not suitable for the fifth position in the batting line-up. It is expected that Suryakumar Yadav will play the 1st Test match against Australia at Nagpur.
