Ahead of the deciding Test in Sydney in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Gautam Gambhir, India’s head coach, has refrained from confirming Rohit Sharma’s place in the playing XI. Rohit has struggled with form throughout the series, scoring only 31 runs in four innings, leading to speculation about his potential exclusion from the final match. Reports suggest that Rohit might also consider retiring from Test cricket after this series, although no official announcement has been made.
Adding to the drama, Gambhir reportedly expressed frustration with the team’s overall performance and lack of discipline. There are indications that selectors are evaluating other options, including bringing Shubman Gill back into the lineup. Jasprit Bumrah could potentially captain the side if Rohit is rested, making this Test crucial for India’s hopes of leveling the series and staying in contention for the World Test Championship final.
Question – Will Rohit Sharma play tomorrow? Is he definitely a part of your XI?
Answer from Gambhir – We are going to have a look at the wicket & probably announce our playing XI.
