Indian Test Captain: The Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be played between the Indian team and Australia from November 22. This is happening for the first time that there will be a five test match series in BGT. The Indian team has already been announced for the Test series. A batch of Team India has also left for Australia, which includes youngsters like Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Mohammad Siraj. The head coach and other senior players will leave in the second batch. But there is a big doubt over regular captain Rohit Sharma playing in the first Test match. The big question before Team India is that if Rohit is not able to play in the first Test match, then who will be the captain in his place? Former Indian cricketer and head coach Gautam Gambhir has given a statement on this.

Bumrah will become captain in Rohit’s absence

Before leaving for Australia, the head coach of Team India said that if Rohit Sharma is unable to play in the first Test match due to personal reasons, then Jasprit Bumrah will take charge of the team. He is also the vice-captain of the team. Bumrah has previously captained Team India in a Test match against England, in which the Indian team lost. He also said that the team has options in the form of KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran for the opening batsman’s spot.

He said that I am not feeling any kind of pressure. It is an honor and a privilege to be the coach of the Indian team. When the head coach was asked whether he felt the same pressure as during the time of Duncan Fletcher when the team was in a period of change. He said that I am not thinking about change but about five Test matches. Whether there is a change or not, if it has to happen it will happen, but I see some incredible players in the Indian team who are desperate to perform.
