When was the last time both Ashwin, Jadeja missed a Test for India?
India's Test match in Perth marks a rare occasion with both Ashwin and Jadeja absent from the playing XI. This strategic decision, influenced by the WACA's pace-friendly conditions, harks back to similar instances in Brisbane (2021), Perth (2018), and Johannesburg (2018). The inclusion of Washington Sundar highlights India's adaptive strategy, prioritizing a pace-heavy attack to exploit the pitch's characteristics.
