The first Border Gavaskar Trophy match between India and Australia will begin from tomorrow at the Optus Stadium in Perth. The captain of the Indian team in this series is Rohit Sharma. But he did not go to Australia with the Indian team due to the birth of his second child. The Indian team left for Australia in three batches between November 10 and 11, which did not include Rohit Sharma. But now he is ready to fly to Australia. A big update has emerged on which day Rohit will leave for India for the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
Rohit Sharma will soon join the Indian team
Rohit Sharma is all set to fly to Australia in the next few days. According to a Cricbuzz report, Rohit will be able to join the team on the third day of the first Test in Perth on November 24. At the same time, some reports also claim that he can reach Australia even before the opening match of the series, that is, Rohit can reach Australia even on the morning of November 22. However, he will almost certainly miss the first test.
According to the Cricbuzz report, Rohit informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India officials that he will join the team on Sunday. At the same time, the second match of this series will be played in Adelaide from December 6, which means Rohit will be available for this match. Team India also has to play a practice match against the Prime Minister 11 in Canberra after the Perth Test and before Adelaide, which will begin from December 30. Rohit can also be a part of this match.
He became a father for the second time on November 15.
Rohit Sharma’s wife Ritika Sajdeh gave birth to a son late on the night of November 15. Rohit had taken a break from team India due to the birth of his son, so he did not travel with team India. In such a situation, it was doubtful that Rohit would play in the first Test match, even though head coach Gautam Gambhir had expressed hope that the Indian captain would be available for the match. In such a situation, Rohit Sharma’s arrival in Australia will come as a relief news for the Indian team. He is currently one of the most experienced players on the team and was also part of the team on the 2021 tour of Australia.
