(Cricket news) India under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma will be going head to head against Australia for 4 Tests. A series between the two cricketing giants is always very fierce. On top of that the series is extremely important for the World Test Championship as Australia and India are 1st and 2nd in the table. The series is even very important for Rohit Sharma the captain. Ever since assuming the role after Virat Kohli stepped down, Rohit Sharma has only captained the 2 Test matches against Sri Lanka. He missed the Test match against England due to Covid and injured his finger before the Bangladesh series.

Rohit Sharma has led India in some high pressure white ball games but this is a different ball game. He will need all kinds of input from former captain Virat Kohli. Rotating the spinners and re-introducing pace at the right time is very tricky in Indian conditions. The Australian team is definitely a handful and it wouldn’t be wrong to say that this is the biggest Test for Rohit Sharma the captain. The good news for him is that he has a lot of experienced campaigners in the team who will make his job easier. The Indian captain also has a few tough selection calls to make so whatever decision he makes it will be questioned if things go wrong.

For Rohit Sharma the batter also it is a challenge because he has a lot of responsibility on him. Rohit’s record in Tests at home is a good one but he will face a tough challenge against the Aussie bowlers. Australia haven’t won a Test series in India since 2005 so the Aussies will be coming hard at India. Rohit will be looking to lead the team from the front which is exactly what is expected from him.
