Rohit Sharma will not be able to play in the fifth Test match against Australia to be held in Sydney. According to media reports, Rohit has decided to keep himself out of the team. Jasprit Bumrah will be seen taking charge of the team in place of Rohit.
With this, Shubman Gill will once again enter the playing eleven. Prasidh Krishna may get a chance in the fifth test. Rohit’s performance in the Border-Gavaskar series has been very disappointing. Along with his poor performance with the bat, Rohit’s captaincy has also come under question.
Rohit Sharma will rest in Sydney Test
Rohit Sharma will not be seen playing in the fifth test match between India and Australia. Rohit has decided to rest for the Sydney Test and has informed head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar about this. According to reports, Gambhir-Agarkar also agreed with Rohit’s decision. In the absence of Rohit, Jasprit Bumrah will be seen commanding the team. In the first Test played in Perth, Bumrah led the team and defeated Australia badly. Rohit is facing a lot of criticism due to his continuous failure with the bat. There are some reports that Rohit will not be seen in the white jersey of Team India after the Australia tour.
Gill will return to the team
According to reports, Shubman Gill’s return to the playing eleven in place of Rohit is considered certain. Gill will be seen playing at number three in the Sydney Test. The responsibility of opening will be on the shoulders of KL Rahul along with Yashasvi Jaiswal. Gill was dropped from the team in the fourth Test match played in Melbourne. Washington Sundar was given a chance in place of Shubman and Rohit Sharma himself came to open. This decision completely went against the Indian team.
Famous Krishna will get a chance
Prasidh Krishna will be in the playing eleven in the fifth test match to be played in Sydney. The brilliant Krishna will get a chance in place of Akashdeep. Akashdeep has already been ruled out of the fifth test due to injury. Australia is currently leading 2-1 in the five-match series. To keep alive the hopes of reaching the final of the World Test Championship, Team India will have to win the Sydney Test at any cost.
