IND vs AUS: The first match of the five-match Test series between India and Australia is going on at the Oats Stadium in Perth. In this match, India is playing without its regular captain. In the absence of Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah is representing India. At present, the responsibility of vice-captaincy is not on anyone’s shoulders. But in the Adelaide match to be held on December 6, a player can be seen playing the role of vice-captain of the Indian team. Now who will this player be, let’s know

Let us tell you that Rohit Sharma is not playing the first match due to the birth of his second child. Information about his availability in the second match (IND vs AUS) has not been officially revealed. However, if reports are to be believed, he can join the Indian team in Australia on November 24. But if he does not join the Indian team, then there is every possibility that Jasprit Bumrah will be seen captaining in the second match against Australia.
KL Rahul played a sensible innings
Rahul can be in the role of vice-captain along with Jasprit Bumrah. The reason for this is that first of all he is a senior batsman. Secondly, his performance in the first (IND vs AUS) match looked very sensible. Of course, he could not play a long innings. But his innings of 25 runs was quite brilliant. That too at a time when other batsmen of India were struggling to score runs. Rahul batted very well at that time. But unfortunately he got out on the ball of Mitchell Starc.
Rahul will have to do this work
Now Rahul will be expected to score good runs in the second innings. If he scores good runs and helps India (IND vs AUS) win the match, then there is every possibility that he will not be dropped from the second match. It is known that he was dropped due to poor form. In the absence of Rohit Sharma, he is handling the responsibility of opening. If he performs well in the first match, then the team management will hardly drop him from the team after Rohit Sharma’s arrival. If Rohit is not available in the second match, then he can also get the vice-captaincy.
