India vs Australia BGT: The much-awaited series between India and Australia is now getting closer. The BCCI has announced the Indian team for this series. This series is very important for India. This series will decide whether the Indian team can reach the final of the ICC World Test Championship again or miss out on this one. However, the problems for the Indian team have not diminished. Whatever happens when the series begins, it will definitely happen, but before that happens, there are two major tensions that the Indian team will have to overcome.
Rohit Sharma will miss the first few games of the Border Gavaskar series and Rohit has informed the BCCI about this. Currently, only the first game has been discussed, but it is possible that he will miss the second game as well. The biggest tension now is who will captain India if Rohit is unavailable. In the BCCI-selected team for the Australia series, the vice-captain duties were given to Jasprit Bumrah. In this case, Jasprit Bumrah is likely to captain the side in the absence of Rohit Sharma. But Bumrah’s captaincy was not very fruitful. He has played only one Test as captain of the Indian team so far but he had to face defeat.
In Rohit’s absence, who will assume the role of opening batsman?
In the absence of Rohit Sharma, the question also arises as to who will be the opening batsman. Yashasvi Jaiswal is an opener but it is not clear who will be his partner. While KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran are contenders for this, neither of them are scoring runs with the bat so far. The India A team is currently on tour of Australia, where unofficial matches are being held. Abhimanyu and KL Rahul will both come in as opening batsmen but their bats are not ready to score runs yet. In this case, this is also the cause of the problem.
India must win the five-match Test series at all costs. India have moved up from first to second in the World Test Championship standings after losing three consecutive games to New Zealand. Now if the number of losses increases, the crisis will further intensify. As it stands, India must win at least four games in the five-match series before the final berth is confirmed. If we win three games and lose two, then we have to look at the performance of other teams. At the same time, if you only win two games and lose three, your dream of reaching the finals will not come true. While anything can happen, it would be better if India can reach the final on their own.
