Rohit gave a big shock to the fans

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 to be played between India and Australia will start from November 22. The first match of this series will be played in Perth. But Indian captain Rohit Sharma may be out of the first test match against Australia. Rohit Sharma held a press conference after losing the series against New Zealand and made a big statement on his availability for the Perth Test. Rohit said that he is not sure whether he will play in that match or not.

Actually, there have been reports for some time that Rohit is expecting a second child with his wife Ritika Sajdeh and due to this reason he may miss the Test match. In such a situation, when the Indian captain was asked about these rumors in the press conference after the Mumbai Test, he said, 'At the moment I am not sure whether I will go or not, but let's see what will happen.' Let us tell you, if Rohit Sharma is out of the first match of this series, then fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah can be seen captaining. At the same time, Abhimanyu Easwaran has been included in this series as a backup opener. He can handle the responsibility of opening in the absence of Rohit.

Very important tour for Team India

Before the start of the Test series against New Zealand, Team India was considered the biggest contender to reach the final of the World Test Championship. But after this defeat all the equations have changed. Team India now needs 4 wins and one draw in 5 Tests against Australia to qualify for the final of the World Test Championship, only then it will be able to directly secure its place in the final, otherwise it will have to depend on other teams.
