Team India captain Rohit Sharma will not go to Australia with the Indian team. However, the picture is not yet clear on whether Rohit will take part in the first Test match to be held in Perth or not. Hitman is soon going to become a father for the second time and due to this he may miss the first or second match of the series. The special thing is that the first test match of the Border-Gavaskar series is going to start from 22nd November.
Rohit will not go to Australia
Even before the start of the Border-Gavaskar series, a bad news has come for Team India. Discussions have intensified that captain Rohit Sharma will not go to Australia with the Indian team. Speaking to Times of India, a BCCI source said that Rohit will not go to Australia with the team, but it is not yet clear whether he will miss the first Test match or not. The picture regarding this is not clear yet. Rohit is going to become a father for the second time, so he may miss the first or second test match of the series. , However, no such official announcement has been made.
the team will leave
The Indian team will leave for Australia in two groups on Sunday and Monday. After Team India's defeat in Mumbai Test against New Zealand, Rohit himself also reacted on this. Then Rohit had said that he himself did not know whether he would go to Australia with the team or not. However, there has been speculation since the beginning that he will not be able to play in the first Test starting in Perth from November 22.
Will Bumrah take command?
If Rohit Sharma is unable to play the first Test match against Australia in Perth, then Jasprit Bumrah will take command of Team India. If Rohit does not play the first test then who will become the captain? In response to this question, Gautam Gambhir said, 'Jasprit Bumrah is the vice-captain. If Rohit misses, Bumrah will remain the captain. Bumrah has been given the vice-captaincy for the Border-Gavaskar series. Earlier, Bumrah had also led the Indian team in England in the absence of Rohit. However, Team India's performance in that match was not anything special.
This time a five-match series
After 35 years, the five-match Border-Gavaskar series will be played between India and Australia. The last five-match Test series between the two teams was played in 1991–92, in which the Kangaroos performed strongly and won the series 4–0. Let us tell you that the record of the Indian team in the five-match Test series has been very poor and the team has not been able to defeat Australia even once. In the last two tours, Team India has broken Australia's pride by entering its home. In 2018, under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, the Indian team tasted victory for the first time on Kangaroo soil, whereas in 2020-21, under the captaincy of Rahane, the young brigade has performed tremendously.
