AUS vs IND: Team India is currently in the West Indies to play the T20 World Cup 2024. India's performance in this tournament has been good so far and that is why Rohit's team has qualified for the Super 8 by winning three consecutive matches in the group stage. Now the last match of the group stage will be played against Canada on June 15.

At the same time, after the end of this T20 World Cup 2024, Team India has to play bilateral series with many countries. One of these is the Australia series where Team India will tour the Kangaroo country and play a 5-match T20 series. The speculation about the captain of India for this tour has already started, so let us know who will be the captain of India in the Hogg Border Gavaskar Trophy. Indications of this have also been given.

AUS vs IND: India's captain's name announced!

Actually, Team India has to play a 5-match Test series against Australia in November. This Test series will last for a long time and in such a situation the Indian cricket team will stay in Australia for about two and a quarter months. The series will start from November 22 and the last match of the series will be played on January 3, 2025.

This tour is quite long, so BCCI would like to send an experienced captain on this tour. Meanwhile, Cricket Australia has released a poster for this series, in which Pat Cummins is on one side and Rohit Sharma is on the other. Looking at the picture, it seems that Rohit will be the captain of Team India for this tour.

Rohit Sharma is the best option for captain

The 5 match T20 series to be played between Australia and India (AUS vs IND) is very important in terms of WTC. At present, there is no such player who is more experienced than Rohit. Anyway, Rohit has already started the new edition of WTC as captain, so in such a situation, he should remain the captain for the 2025 WTC next year because this is the team he has made and it would be better if the Hitman runs it. Let us tell you that Rohit has captained India in 16 Tests so far and during this time he has won 10, lost 4 and drawn 2.
