    BGT 2024-25: Rohit Sharma Opts Out, Bumrah To Lead India In Sydney, Say Sources

    By IANS News January 02, 2025 • 16:42 PM View: 986
    Sydney Cricket Ground: The fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series will see a significant change in leadership for Team India. Test captain Rohit Sharma has "opted out" for the crucial match against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), with pacer Jasprit Bumrah expected to lead the team in his absence.

    IANS understands that Rohit informed head coach Gautam Gambhir and chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar of his decision to sit out the series finale, prioritising the 'best-team first' philosophy in the match. Both Gambhir and Agarkar reportedly agreed to the move.

    Speculation is rife that this could mark the end of Rohit’s Test career, as the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) cycle might not feature him in India’s long-term plans.
