Team India has left for Australia tour for Border-Gavaskar Trophy. This series is going to be very important from the point of view of the Indian team. There is still doubt over whether Team India captain Rohit Sharma will play on this tour.
In the press conference held before leaving for the tour, Indian coach Gautam Gambhir has revealed many things and has also made it clear who will captain Team India in this series. Let us tell you what he has said about the Indian team in this series…
Rohit Sharma ruled out of Border-Gavaskar Trophy
There is still no official confirmation on whether Team India captain Rohit will play in the first Test on the Australia tour or not. There is still doubt about his playing in the Perth Test. According to reports, Rohit Sharma has cited his personal reasons for this. After Rohit Sharma’s exit, KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran will be the opening options for Team India.
Who will be the captain of Team India?
After Rohit Sharma is ruled out of the Perth Test, fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah will take over the captaincy of Team India. Gambhir himself has confirmed this before going on the Australia tour. Jaspreet Bumrah was playing the role of vice-captain in the team in the series against New Zealand.
However, if Rohit Sharma becomes available for this match, then the captaincy will remain in his hands. Talking about Bumrah, he has captained Team India in 1 Test match against England, but he had to face defeat in that.
What did Gambhir say about KL Rahul?
After the defeat in the New Zealand series, Team India’s batsmen are being heavily criticized. KL Rahul was sent to Australia by the management a week ago for practice. But here too, his performance while playing for India A has been disappointing. Gambhir said about him, ” KL Rahul can bat in the top order. He can bat at number-3, number-6. If Rohit (Rohit Sharma) is not available for the first Test, then Rahul is one of his options in batting.”
