Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma is expected to be ‘rested’ for the fifth Test match against Australia, which begins on Thursday in Sydney, according to sources. In his absence, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will take over the captaincy.
Rohit has struggled significantly in the ongoing five-match Test series, managing to score only 31 runs across three matches. He missed the first Test to be with his family following the birth of his second child. Since joining the team in Adelaide, he has been unable to make a substantial impact with the bat.
The decision to rest Rohit comes as the Indian team looks to make strategic adjustments ahead of the final Test, with Bumrah stepping in to lead the side during this crucial match.
