Delhi: Before the last match of India vs Australia series, many news of Team India dressing room was leaked. After the arrival of coach Gautam Gambhir in place of captain Rohit Sharma in the pre-match press conference, the discussion became heated that Rohit would not be a part of the team in the last test. Now it has been confirmed that Rohit will not play the Sydney Test.
Rohit decided to keep himself out
Jasprit Bumrah will captain the Indian team in the last test match. Captain Rohit Sharma has decided to keep himself out of this match. According to a report in Indian Express, 37-year-old Rohit shared this decision with coach Gautam Gambhir and head of selectors Ajit Agarkar, which was accepted positively.
A day after reports of a rift in the Indian dressing room, Rohit was briefly seen during the team’s practice session. During net practice, Rohit, Gambhir and Bumrah were seen talking for a long time. While all the batsmen practiced long, Rohit practiced lightly wearing only a sweatshirt.
Shubman Gill will return
Rohit’s ‘rest’ means Shubman Gill’s return to the team. Gill, who had scored 28 and 31 in Adelaide, was out due to a team combination. Now he can bat at number 3. At the same time, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, who had made a partnership of 201 runs in the first Test, will continue to open.
