- Team India captain Rohit Sharma may be out of the first Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. In his absence, this flop batsman who was dropped from the team can be made the captain…
Rohit Sharma: Before the World Test Championship 2025, Team India has to tour Australia this month, where a 5-match Border Gavaskar Trophy will be played between India and Australia. The first match of this series will be played in Perth on 22 November. But, a disappointing news is coming from Team India’s camp that Indian captain Rohit Sharma may miss the first Test match due to personal reasons. In such a situation, in his absence, BCCI can make this flop player the captain.
Can Rohit Sharma be out of Border Gavaskar Trophy?
India had to face a humiliating 3-0 defeat against New Zealand under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Now India has to participate in the 5-match Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia under his captaincy. But, the situation is not clear about whether Indian captain Rohit Sharma will play in the first Test to be played in Perth.
If reports are to be believed, Rohit might be out of the first test due to personal reasons. After the Wankhede test, Rohit had given a big reaction that he is not sure about the first test. At present, no official confirmation has been made by the BCCI on this yet.
This flop player may get captaincy!
If Rohit Sharma does not take part in the first Test in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, then the big question will be who will take his place? According to the rules, the vice-captain has to lead the team in the absence of the captain. According to this, Jasprit Bumrah can be seen captaining the first Test.
But, Bumrah has no experience of captaining India in Tests. Although he has captained in 1 match against England in the year 2022 during the Corona period, Gautam Gambhir would not want him to be given the captaincy and do something that would distract him from bowling. In such a situation, he can choose KL Rahul as the captain. He has a long experience of captaincy.
He has played this role in every difficult situation for India. He has captained many big teams in IPL. In the Test format, he has captained India in 3 Tests. Under his captaincy, India won 2 and lost 1 match.
