Rohit Sharma joins Tendulkar, Kohli in batting record, becomes sixth Indian player to do so

Rohit Sharma In, KL Rahul and Sarfaraz Out: India’s Strongest XI for 1st Test vs Australia

In a remarkable display of dedication and commitment, Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma is set to lead the team in the first Test against Australia in Perth, despite welcoming a baby boy just a day earlier.

The news of Rohit’s swift return to the team has surprised many, given the usual protocol of taking paternity leave. However, the Indian captain’s determination to represent his country has clearly outweighed personal considerations.

With Rohit leading from the front, India will be looking to start the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on a strong note. The team’s batting lineup, bolstered by the return of KL Rahul and the continued form of Shubman Gill, looks promising.

India’s Probable Playing XI for the Perth Test:

  1. Rohit Sharma (c)
  2. Shubman Gill
  3. KL Rahul
  4. Virat Kohli
  5. Rishabh Pant (wk)
  6. Ravindra Jadeja
  7. Axar Patel
  8. Mohammed Shami
  9. Mohammed Siraj
  10. Umesh Yadav
  11. Jasprit Bumrah

It’s worth noting that this is a projected XI, and the final team composition may vary depending on pitch conditions and team strategy.

Rohit’s decision to prioritize national duty is a testament to his commitment to the Indian cricket team. His leadership and experience will be crucial in a challenging series against Australia.
