Rohit Sharma may miss the Perth Test due to personal reasons. Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Team India has to play a 5-match Test series against Australia, which is starting from November 22 in Perth. However, before the first test match, a big report is coming out regarding Indian team captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit Sharma may miss the Perth Test due to personal reasons. According to Gaurav Gupta of The Times of India, Rohit Sharma will not travel with Team India for the first match of the series. On November 11, at 9 am Indian time, the team will hold a press conference in Mumbai and then leave for Australia. Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir will participate in this press conference but the captain of the Indian team will not travel with the team. Let us tell you that Rohit Sharma has not been able to perform well in Tests for some time. Recently, Team India played a three-match Test series against New Zealand. New Zealand won this test series 3-0. Apart from Rohit Sharma, other Indian batsmen also failed to leave their mark in this Test series. However, if Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship, then they will have to win the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 against Australia by a big margin. It is very important for them to win at least four matches in this test series. In the unavailability of Rohit Sharma, vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah can be seen captaining Team India in the first Test against Australia. If this happens, there will be a lot of pressure on Jasprit Bumrah to win the match for his team. This is the Indian team for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25: Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Mohammed Siraj. , Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar.

“I am also a big reason” – Ashwin blamed himself for the defeat in NZ series
Ashwin (Source X) A few days ago, India had to face a humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of New Zealand at their own home. Now R Ashwin has given a big statement regarding this defeat and he has also considered himself guilty for this defeat. Although most of the players do not take responsibility for the defeat in such matches, but R Ashwin is one of them, who believes that he was also a major reason behind Team India’s defeat. This was the first time that the Indian team had to face a clean sweep at home in a Test series of three or more matches. After 12 years, the Indian team lost the Test series at home. R Ashwin could not perform well with ball and bat in all three matches of this series. His performance in just three matches was not of the standard for which he is known. R Ashwin gave a big statement regarding the defeat in NZ series Ravichandran Ashwin said on his YouTube channel about the embarrassing 3-0 defeat to New Zealand, “In my career and in my experience in cricket, we have not had a very shattering experience, that is the right word, I felt bad – I didn’t know how to react to this for the last 2-3 days. I am also a big reason, could not contribute lower-order runs, lost wickets at the wrong time.” Ashwin was seen struggling to take wickets in this series. He could take a total of 9 wickets in 6 innings of 3 matches. This is rarely seen because Ashwin’s record on Indian pitches has been excellent and he easily takes 9-10 wickets in a match. R Ashwin scored 51 runs as a batsman in 6 innings of the 3-match Test series, in which he did not even open his account in one innings. At the same time, as a bowler he could take only 9 wickets. In the first match, he got only one wicket, whereas in the second match, he was able to take 5 wickets in both the innings. At the same time, even on a rank turner in Mumbai, he could take only 3 wickets. He could not take even a single wicket in the first innings.
