New Delhi: The third Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (Border-Gavaskar Trophy) against Australia (Australia) is starting from March 1. Team India, who are leading 2-0 in the series, will be eyeing to win this Test and clinch the series in their name. A win in this test match will take India to the finals of the World Test Championship and also make it number 1 in the Test rankings. However, amid all these discussions, there is an eye on who Team India will include in the playing 11. After KL Rahul’s poor performance, people are hoping that a new player will get a chance to replace him. The statement of Team India captain Rohit Sharma has come out before the match. For the first time in the press conference, he made a statement after removing KL Rahul from the vice-captaincy.
Rohit Sharma said this after being removed from the vice-captaincy
Before the start of the match, Team India captain Rohit Sharma held a press conference, where he said an important thing about KL Rahul’s form. Rohit Sharma said that not being vice-captain doesn’t give you any clue. Rohit said that all 17 players in the team have a chance. The team will support talented people. Taking away the vice-captaincy does not mean much. He was made vice-captain as there were probably not many experienced players at that time.
Let us tell you that KL Rahul was the vice-captain of Team India till the first two Test matches, but he was not the vice-captain of the team when the squad was announced for the last two Tests. KL Rahul is constantly struggling with poor form and in the mean time when this happens it indicates that he is in poor form.
Instead of KL To Shubman Will get a chance?
In such a situation, this statement of Rohit Sharma regarding KL Rahul is very important. Rohit also spoke about the top order of the Indian team which has failed so far in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Rohit Sharma said that yes, it is true that the top order has not scored as many runs as expected. But our efforts to reach there are continuous, which will definitely yield results. Let us tell you that there is a constant demand to exclude KL Rahul from the playing-11. He is far from a big score, though the team management has consistently backed him. In such a situation, the question now arises whether the team management will give KL Rahul a chance in Indore as well or will Shubman Gill be tried this time. However, Team India captain Rohit Sharma does not seem to be in this mood and his latest statement makes it clear that Rahul will be seen playing in the third Test as well.
