Difficult to play for Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill
A bit of a problem for Team India is that it is very difficult for captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill to be available for the Perth Test. Actually, Rohit has recently become a father, so he is with his family and it is believed that he will miss the Perth Test. On the other hand, Shubman Gill is injured due to which he probably will not play the first test.
This player will captain India
If Rohit Sharma is not available for the Perth Test, then the team's vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah will be seen captaining the team. Let us tell you that Bumrah has led the country in one Test and two T20 matches.
