IND vs AUS: Live streaming details, when and where to watch 1st test of India's tour of Australia 2024

The first IND vs AUS test will be played from Friday, November 22 in Perth.

The much anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy is set to start on November 22 at Optus Stadium in Perth. Current holders of the trophy India have dominated the rivalry in recent years winning the last four series against Australia. India’s impressive recent record includes back-to-back series wins on Australian soil by margin of 2-1 both the times.

However, the Asian giants enter this series on the back of a humiliating whitewash test series defeat against New Zealand at home. Adding to India’s problems, skipper Rohit Sharma will miss the first game, with Jasprit Bumrah stepping in as captain.

On the other hand, Australia are coming to this game with a new looking batting order. Debutant Nathan McSweeney will open the innings in the absence of Cameron Green, who has been ruled out of the entire series. Mitchell Marsh is expected to take a greater workload with the ball to add depth to the Aussie bowling lineup.
