The Indian team has reached Australia for the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The series between the two teams will start from November 22. The hosting of the first match has been handed over to Optus Cricket Stadium in Perth. Bad news has come out for the Indian team before the IND vs AUS Test series. Actually, captain Rohit Sharma will not be available for the first two matches due to personal reasons. It is reported that he is going to become a father for the second time, due to which he has asked for a break from the BCCI. In his absence, the command of the team will be in the hands of Jasprit Bumrah.
This player will be the captain after Jaspreet Bumrah gets injured!
Jasprit Bumrah has led Team India in Test cricket before. However, in the meantime, the question that is coming to the minds of the fans is that if the fast bowler gets injured during the match, then who will captain in his place? If this happens, then the reins of the team can be given to experienced batsman KL Rahul. He has experience of captaining on foreign soil. After Virat Kohli resigned from the post of captaincy, he was seen in the role of captain in South Africa.
He has captained before
KL Rahul has captained Team India in three Test matches. Under his leadership, the team won two matches, while it lost one match. KL Rahul has a lot of experience in captaincy. He has also been seen in this role in the IPL. His calm and balanced captaincy style has also impressed everyone. He is adept at making strategies according to the situation. Therefore, in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, Team India management can turn to KL Rahul.
