India tackle Australia within the first Test match in Nagpur beginning February 9 and Raja believes that the hosts might want to have absolute readability in regards to the taking part in circumstances themselves with a purpose to outsmart the guests and clinch the highly-anticipated collection.

“Rohit Sharma’s captaincy will be put to the test, there is no doubt about that. There isn’t going to be a single session in the first Test where Australia won’t fight hard. There won’t be any flat sessions. The strategy needs to be full-proof and so does the selection. There also needs to be clarity over the conditions they want to trump Australia,” Raja stated on his official YouTube channel.

The Indian cricket workforce taking part in XI has been the purpose of competition for fairly a while. While KL Rahul and Shubman Gill stay the highest selections to open the batting with skipper Rohit, Raja made it clear that Suryakumar Yadav must make his Test debut with a purpose to preserve the workforce composition.

“India should play Suryakumar Yadav. He will generate pace with the bat. They have named a lot of T20 players in their squad for the first two Tests, which is good because action is what gets a thumbs-up from everyone in Test cricket these days. We saw how England scored 350-400 runs in a single day against Pakistan. The more pace you generate, the more pressure you can create. India have a great opportunity to create pressure,” Raja stated.
