According to a rumor, Jasprit Bumrah will captain the team in Rohit Sharma's place during the first Test match against Australia, which begins on November 22.
According to an Indian Express source, Jasprit Bumrah will captain the Indian cricket team in lieu of Rohit Sharma, who will not play in the opening Test match against Australia beginning November 22. After the birth of their second kid, Rohit reportedly told the BCCI that he would be spending more time with his wife, Ritika Sajdeh. In the first Test, Bumrah will lead the team, but Rohit is anticipated to return for the second game in Adelaide.
We had hoped that Rohit would travel, but he has told the BCCI that he needs more time and cannot go at this time. For the second match, the pink-ball Test match in Adelaide, he will be taking a plane to Australia. Rohit would be able to arrive on time because the first and second Test matches are separated by nine days, a BCCI official told Indian Express.
According to the article, Nitish Kumar Reddy, an all-rounder, is expected to get his first Test cap in the opening game in Perth. He is viewed as the ideal fit for the team management's goal of using him as a fourth seam option because the surface is anticipated to offer some additional bounce.
Reddy is the only fast-bowling all-rounder in the India squad for the Test series against Australia, despite the fact that the team does contain pacers like Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, and Akash Deep.
KL Rahul made a comeback to batting at the team's practice at the WACA Stadium on Sunday, which is good news for India as they prepare for the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test, which begins on November 22.
Rahul was forced to leave the field with the physiotherapist after suffering a blow to his right elbow from an ascending delivery from tall pacer Prasidh Krishna during Friday's intra-squad match simulation. Rahul grimaced in agony as he left, and he didn't bat again for the remainder of the day.
According to a number of reports from Perth on Sunday, Rahul was put through a rigorous workout with the Indian team, even though stars like Rishabh Pant, Virat Kohli, and Yashasvi Jaiswal had not shown up at the WACA. Additionally, it stated that Rahul batted on the center wicket for about an hour before starting more net practice.
