IND vs AUS: Rohit Sharma will not be with the team in the first test, who will captain and open the team?

 

 

Now it is almost certain that captain Rohit Sharma will not be with the Indian team in the first test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. According to reports, Rohit is going to become the father of his second child and during this time he will be with his wife Ritika Sajdeh. In such a situation, who will captain Team India in the first match of the Test series starting in Australia? Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir has given the answer to this. He said that Jasprit Bumrah will captain the team. The first test match of the series will start from November 22 in Perth. When Gambhir was asked who would captain Team India if Rohit Sharma is not available for the Perth Test match. Giving this information, head coach Gautam Gambhir said that if Rohit is not available in the first test, then vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah will take command of the team.

Apart from this, he also replied on opening the Indian team in the absence of Rohit. Gambhir said that we have many options, including players like Abhimanyu Easwaran and KL Rahul and when we get closer to the first Test match, we will decide who will open for the team. We will try to field the best playing eleven there.

Let us tell you that Bumrah had earlier captained India in the rescheduled 5th Test against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham in 2022. At that time, Rohit was excluded from playing the match due to Corona epidemic. When Gambhir was asked who would play the role of captain in Rohit’s absence, he said, ‘Jasprit Bumrah is the vice-captain and if Rohit Sharma is not available then he will lead the team.’ Bumrah has performed well at any position in the batting order. Also praised KL Rahul’s ability to do so.
