- Rohit Sharma could not play the first match against Australia. He was not available for the match in Perth due to the birth of his child. But after going to Australia, he may have to take a big decision…
Rohit Sharma: Rohit Sharma could not play the first match against Australia. He was not available in the match held in Perth due to the birth of his child. But he will be available in the second match. Jasprit Bumrah represented Team India in the absence of the captain. He also led India to victory in Perth. But after the return of Hitman, the 37-year-old player will take over the command of India in place of Bumrah. At the same time, one player has got a shock due to his return. Because Rohit’s arrival can lead to his homecoming. Now who is this player, let’s know.
Will this player return home with the arrival of Rohit Sharma?
It is known that after Rohit Sharma’s arrival in Team India, KL Rahul, who opened in Rohit’s absence, can be played at number three. Also, he gave India a strong start by playing strong in both the innings (26 runs and 77 runs). It would be unfair to drop him after this innings. Also, he did not deserve to be dropped. Therefore, he can be played at number three.
Devdutt Padikal may return home
Let us tell you that Shubman Gill plays at number three in Team India. But he was not available in Perth with Rohit Sharma. He was injured, so he could not play in Perth. In his place, Team India played Devdutt Padikkal. Whose performance has also not been anything special. He scored 0 and 24 runs in both the innings, due to which he can be dropped. Apart from this, if KL Rahul is fielded at number three, then Padikkal’s place in the playing-XI does not seem to be made, that is why he can be sent back to India.
India has an option in the form of Abhimanyu Easwaran
It is worth noting that when Rohit Sharma was not in Team India in the series between India and Australia, Devdutt Padikkal, who was part of the India A team, was stopped in Australia itself. But now that the Indian captain has reached Australia, he can be sent back to India. Because Team India already has Abhimanyu Easwaran as an opener. In such a situation, if any player of Team India gets injured in Australia in the future, then Easwaran can be selected.
Disclaimer: Let us tell you that there is no official confirmation regarding the news about Devdutt Padikkal returning home. But keeping in mind the decisions taken by the BCCI for some time now, we have guessed that such decisions can be taken in case Rohit Sharma returns to Australia.
