The Story Behind The Absence Of The Indian Opener
Rohit Sharma has been added to the squad of the Indian cricket team in the Test series. However, after the end of Indian Premier League, Rohit Sharma has gone back to his home as his father has been diagnosed COVID +ve in the meantime. After that, he has gone to National Cricket Academy where he has to pass a fitness test. After a few days, Rohit Sharma has got his fitness certificate. However, he has not been able to be a part of this team for the first two test matches against Australia. Finally, he has gone to Australia and served a hard quarantine for 14 days in Sydney.
In the absence of Virat Kohli, Indian Cricket Team has won the second test match of the series against Australia at Melbourne Cricket Ground. After managing to get only 36 runs in the second innings of the first test match, Indian Cricket Team has shown their character in the second test match. Rohit Sharma is expected to be a part of the team for the third test against Australia at Sydney Cricket Ground. Mayank Agarwal and Hanuma Bihari have failed to impress so far in this series. So, it is very much likely that one of them will be dropped in the next test match.
