Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024 India Squad: Captain, Batsmen, Bowlers, All Rounder, Coach and Other Staffs

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) is one of the most prestigious cricket series and is a battle of dominance between two cricketing powerhouses, India and Australia. Named after the legends Allan Border and Sunil Gavaskar, the series epitomizes cricketing excellence, intense rivalries and gripping performances. As excitement builds for the 2024 event, all eyes are on the Indian team’s players and support staff, who have assembled meticulously to take on a formidable Australian side.

India captain Rohit Sharma and third-order batsman Shubman Gill will miss the first Test against Australia, with Gill missing out due to a fractured finger.

In view of these developments, the BCCI on Sunday announced that top-order batsman Devdutt Padikkal, who played two four-day matches for India A, will be retained as a replacement batsman.

Vice-captain and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah will lead the side in Rohit’s absence. Rohit, who recently became a father for the second time, told BCCI that he needs to spend more time with his family.

Padikkal will join the 18-member squad in place of Rohit Sharma for the first Test at Opus Stadium in Perth.
