Team India will commence the Border-Gavaskar Trophy without its first choice captain, Rohit Sharma . The India captain recently welcomed his second child with wife Ritika Sajdeh, and thus wishes to stay with the family, thereby extending the break. In his absence, vice captain Jasprit Bumrah will put on the captaincy shoes. Rohit will join the team ahead of the second Australia vs India Test, scheduled to begin on December 6, at the iconic Adelaide oval.
Rohit Sharma ruled out of first Test against Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, scheduled to start on November 22. The Indian captain’s status for the 1st Test was doubtful from the outset. However, following the birth of his second child, it was expected that he would make it just on time for the BGT opener. However, he has decided to stay back in India
