After losing the Melbourne Test, nothing was right in the Indian dressing room. Head coach Gautam Gambhir had severely reprimanded all the players. But after the defeat in the Melbourne Test, now Team India's focus is on the final and decisive match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy starting from January 3. But before that, news is coming that a veteran player of the team is presenting himself as the interim captain. Rohit Sharma is going through his bad form and bad captaincy. Meanwhile, it has been claimed in media reports that another player is seeing himself in the role of captain.
The name of the player has not been disclosed in media reports. It is only mentioned that that player is senior in the team. Many people believe that he could be Virat Kohli, although official information about this is not available. Let us tell you that Virat has left the captaincy of the Test team in 2022.
This is a matter of media reports but the strongest contender to become the next captain of the Indian Test team is Jasprit Bumrah. Rohit Sharma is going through a bad phase of his Test career. After the Melbourne Test, reports claimed that he could play his last Test in Sydney. If this happens then Bumrah will take command of the team. He is currently the vice-captain of the team. When Rohit was not present in the first Test in Perth, Bumrah captained the team and the Indian team won the match by 295 runs. According to reports, even then this senior player had his eyes set on captaincy.
The last test of Border Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia will be played at Sydney Cricket Ground from January 3. Australia is leading 2-1 in the series. If she wins this match too, then along with winning the series, she will also get a ticket for the WTC final. To remain in the race for the WTC final, India will have to win this match at any cost. By the way, let us tell you that Team India last won the Test on this ground in the year 1978. After this he did not get any victory.
