Border-Gavaskar Series: Team India has to play Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia later this year. This series is going to be very important for Team India because only from this series it will be known whether Team India will reach the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) or the journey will end before that. But even before the start of this series, Team India may face a big shock.

Rohit may be out

In fact, team captain Rohit Sharma may not be seen playing in the first two Test matches of the five-match series against Australia. If media reports are to be believed, Rohit may be unavailable for the first two test matches due to family reasons. Which can be bad news for India.

Bumrah can handle the captaincy

In case Rohit Sharma does not play in the first two matches, Jasprit Bumrah can take command of the team. Because he is also the vice-captain of the team in the ongoing New Zealand series and if needed, he can take charge of the team. Bumrah has already captained Team India in Tests.

Bumrah has captained before also

Bumrah captained the fifth and last match of the series against England in 2022. However, the result in that match was not in favor of Team India and they had to face defeat by 8 wickets in that match. England had easily achieved the huge target of 378 runs.

Australia eyes Border Gavaskar Series

This series is a battle of self-respect for Team India because Team India has won the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia for the last two times and this time Australia would like to break that record. This time this series will not be of 4 matches but it will be a series of 5 matches.
