Rohit Sharma: Is He No Longer Team India’s Captain? 28-Second Video Sparks Buzz

Before the Test in Sydney, there are some questions regarding the position of Rohit Sharma in Team India. A viral video of 28 seconds from the Sydney Cricket Ground has sparked a rumor that Rohit may no longer be the team captain.

In the video, head coach Gautam Gambhir is seen interacting with Shubman Gill and patting his back followed by Jasprit Bumrah shaking hands with the young batter. Notably, Rohit is missing from the scene, and it has given rise to speculation that Bumrah might take over as captain with Shubman Gill as his deputy.

Rohit's Exclusion from the Playing XI?

Signs are there that Rohit Sharma may not play in Sydney. He avoided the pre-match press conference, and coach Gautam Gambhir refrained from confirming the playing XI or Rohit's inclusion. He said that decisions would be taken after looking at the pitch.

Shubman Gill just got a fist pump, pat on the back from Gautam Gambhir and Jasprit Bumrah shook his hand after that. He is now doing fielding drills but with the lot which has been mostly on the bench this tour. Kohli, NKR, Jaiswal, KL and Pant in a separate group pic.twitter.com/p9bS3DmHUE
