Rohit Sharma: The 3-match Test series between India and New Zealand (IND vs NZ) is going to start from October 16. For this, many changes can be seen in the team. Let us tell you that Team India had recently defeated Bangladesh in the Test series.

In such a situation, now the Indian team would like to do a similar feat against the Kiwi team and would like to win all three matches. However, a major change may be seen in this team and captain Rohit Sharma may be rested.

Rohit Sharma can be given rest

Actually, the Indian team has to do a long tour of Australia in November, where a 5-match Test series is to be played between the two teams. In such a situation, keeping this tour in mind, Rohit Sharma can be rested and another player can be seen captaining in his place.

Rohit has been playing cricket continuously for some time and that is why he can be rested in this series. However, in place of Rohit, the responsibility of captaincy can be given to some other player, not wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant or KL Rahul.

This player can become the captain of Team India

If Rohit Sharma is rested in the Test series against Blackcaps, then veteran fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah can be seen captaining the Indian team in his place.

Bumrah has been seen captaining Team India in Test matches before and has also been made the vice-captain of the team on many occasions. In such a situation, he can once again be entrusted with this responsibility and can be seen leading the team.

This series is important from WTC point of view

This series against New Zealand is going to be very important for Team India. If India wins all three matches of this series against the Kiwi team, then it will become very easy for them to reach the final.

In such a situation, Team India will have to win this series at any cost. On the other hand, the New Zealand team is currently struggling with poor form and recently had to face a 2-0 defeat in the Test series against Sri Lanka. Now India would also like to clean their house in the series.
