Rohit Sharma: Team India is going to have the biggest test this year in Australia, which can be very difficult for them. Team India has to play a 5-match Border Gavaskar series in Australia.
For which Team India has also been announced.
But before that the team can get a big shock. Due to which Team India may have to face trouble in the Perth Test. Rohit Sharma may be out of the Perth Test match.
Rohit Sharma can miss the initial test matches
If media reports are to be believed, Rohit Sharma may miss the first few matches, due to which some other player can be given a chance to open in his place. Let us tell you that Abhimanyu Easwaran has been sent to Australia as a backup opener.
But Abhimanyu was given a chance in the two unofficial Test matches held in Australia, but he could not do anything in those matches and could score only 36 runs at an average of 9 in four innings of two matches.
Rahul flopped as an opener
KL Rahul was also sent as a backup opener in the second unofficial Test match, but he too could not score runs in that match. Due to which now Team India is in a lot of trouble, which player can open in place of Rohit.
After the poor performance of both of them, the team management can give the responsibility of opening to Shubman Gill. Although Rahul can play in the team in the first Test, but he cannot open.
Gill can open
Gill has already opened in Australia and he performed well there, so looking at his past record, the team management can give him a chance to open. In Rohit's absence, Jasprit Bumrah can captain the team.
India's probable playing XI for Perth Test
Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Dhruv Jurel, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Reddy, Mohammed Siraj, Akashdeep, Jasprit Bumrah
