Indian National Cricket Team captain Rohit Sharma will be available for the entire series against the Australian National Cricket Team. According to reports in Sports Tak, it is learned that the opener will be the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 to be played in Perth.
Rohit Sharma has been in the headlines for the past few weeks. There are various reports claiming that the opening batsman will not feature in the first Test against the Australian National Cricket Team in Perth. That’s because he and his wife are expecting their second child, which could conflict with either of the first two Tests in Australia.
Rohit Sharma says he is not sure if he will play the Perth Test
Even captain Rohit asked reporters after the Test series against the New Zealand National Cricket Team whether he would play the Test match in Perth. The opening made it clear that he was inclined but not sure, leading to more rumors about his unavailability.
The news of Rohit’s absence from the Perth Test created panic among the Indian fans. This is because his absence will leave a huge void in the team as they will not only miss out on a quality opener but also the lead at the start of the series.
Rohit Sharma is likely to be available for the entire series
But a new set of reports has revealed that there are chances that Rohit Sharma might be available for the entire series.
According to SportsTak, Rohit may go to Australia for the first Test before returning to India for the birth of his child with the Indian team and then fly back for the second Test. This will surely be a big boost for the Indian National Cricket Team as his presence will boost the confidence of the team and they will enter the series with a full strength team.
Rohit Sharma has been under the big scanner for the past few weeks. This is because under his leadership, the Indian National Cricket Team suffered a whitewash against the New Zealand National Cricket Team in the three-match Test series at home. This has happened for the first time in the history of Indian cricket.
An interesting fast development, there are chances of Rohit Sharma even going to Australia with the team. I wouldn’t be surprised if that eventually happens @sports_tak

Rohit Sharma has looked terrible with the bat throughout the home season
Sharma has also looked terrible with the bat throughout the home season. The opener failed to score big in the two-match Test series against the Bangladesh National Cricket Team and then the same story unfolded for him in the three-match Test series against the New Zealand National Cricket Team.
The Australian tour will be a great opportunity for Rohit to make a comeback and prove his mettle to the world. He would be looking to make an impact both with the bat and with his lead in the five-match Test series.
If Rohit is not available for the Test in Perth, Jasprit Bumrah can captain the team. The pacer is the vice-captain of the team and there are reports that either KL Rahul or Abhimanyu Easwaran will open the innings in his absence.
