Why Rohit Sharma Shouldn’t Play First Test Against AUS: The Indian team has reached Australia for the Border Gavaskar Trophy and has also started net practice. A five-match Test series is to be played between India and Australia. Whose first test match is to be played in Perth. Which will be played from 22nd November to 26th November. But team captain Rohit Sharma has not gone to Australia yet. The reason behind this is his becoming a father for the second time. But now there is a possibility that Rohit may join Team India for the first test. However, based on some strong reasons, it is believed that Rohit taking a break may be better for him and the team.
Why might Rohit’s decision not to play in the first Test be justified?
Rohit Sharma taking a break from the first Test can prove to be a strategic step not only for his personal life but also for Team India. Know the special reason behind this.
- It is important to spend time with family
Responsibilities increase after becoming a father. Currently, Rohit Sharma is with his family and it may be difficult for him to be fully prepared mentally. Spending time with his family in new circumstances is important not only for his personal life but also for his sports performance. - lack of practice challenge
If Rohit Sharma wants to play in the first test, he will have to fly to Australia on 18th November. Their preparation may be affected due to long journey and time difference. Team India has already reached Perth and is practicing and adapting itself to the conditions. In such a situation, if Rohit plays without adequate practice, it may affect his performance. - Strong options on the bench
The team has good players as alternatives to Rohit Sharma. Head coach Gautam Gambhir has already said that KL Rahul is a strong option for the team. Rahul can bat in the middle order along with opening. Apart from this, young player Abhimanyu Easwaran is also ready for this role. - Trust in Bumrah’s captaincy
Jasprit Bumrah, known for his calm and effective leadership, can take over the captaincy in the Perth Test. His bowling and strategy on fast pitches can be helpful in helping Team India win.
