Even though there is still time for India’s tour of Australia to be held at the end of this year, a big news related to it is coming out. If media reports are to be believed, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma may miss a match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Rohit Sharma will not play in one of the first two Test matches of the five-match series starting in Perth from November 22. Hitman has informed BCCI about this. There is a possibility that Rohit will not be able to play the first match in Perth or the second match in Adelaide (6-10 December). The reasons are not known at present.
Abhimanyu Easwaran can be an option
37-year-old Rohit Sharma played both the home tests against Bangladesh. India will host New Zealand for a three-Test series starting on October 16. If Rohit is unable to play a Test match in Australia, in-form Abhimanyu Easwaran could be his cover, although the top order also has players with enough experience, Shubman Gill and KL Rahul. Easwaran will also be in Australia with the India A team, which he is to captain. It is not yet known who will be the vice-captain of the Test team because Rohit did not have any official vice-captain during the recent home series against Bangladesh.Ninja plan ready to defeat Australia!

Many IPL captains in the team
Abhishek Nair had told the media on the eve of the second Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur, ‘There are many players who have led their franchises. There are three candidates for the role – Rohit’s white-ball deputy Gill, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who has led India in a Test in England, and wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant. I think we need to understand that we have a lot of IPL captains in this team. When you talk about players like Shubhman Gill, Rishabh Pant, there is hope that someone famous will step up.
