Border-Gavaskar Trophy : Team India will tour Australia for the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Which is going to start from November 22. BCCI has announced the Indian team for the Australia tour. But some reports have come out, according to which Rohit Sharma is not going to be available on the tour.
In such a situation, some other player can take charge of India. Not only this, in the absence of Rohit as an opener, someone else can also take over the responsibility of opening batsman. That means there are going to be many changes in Team India. Now let us tell you which player can take charge of India’s command and opening responsibility.
Change in captaincy of Team India for Border-Gavaskar Trophy!
Let us tell you that the reason for Rohit Sharma’s unavailability in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is the birth of his second child. While commentating in Jio Cinema after the last match against New Zealand, Abhinav Mukund had confirmed that Rohit’s wife Ritika is pregnant.
She and Rohit are soon going to become parents for the second time. When Rohit was asked about his availability after the match against New Zealand, he did not say anything clearly about his presence. It is clear that India will face Australia in the first and second matches without its regular captain.
Jaspreet Bumrah will take over the captaincy of Team India
If Rohit Sharma does not play in the opening match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, then Jasprit Bumrah can take over the captaincy in his place. Because he has joined Team India in the role of vice-captain. It is known that on the last Australia tour, Virat Kohli also played only one match in Australia due to becoming a father. After that Ajinkya Rahane, who was in the role of vice-captain, took over the responsibility of captaincy. However, Rahane is not in Team India this time. Also, if Bumrah is the vice-captain, he will represent India in Australia.
Rahul can handle the responsibility of opening
Also, the responsibility of opening in place of Rohit Sharma can fall on Rahul’s shoulders in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. It is worth noting that Rahul has been playing as a middle order batsman in Team India for a long time. But he was dropped from the middle order because of Sarfaraz Khan.
But now Rahul can make a comeback. He can play as an opening batsman. However, India will have the option of Abhimanyu Easwaran as a strong batsman. But on the basis of experience, Rahul can get a chance. Also, he also bats well as an opener.
