In a significant development, there are reports that the Indian team is set to depart for Australia in two batches. According to a report from InsideSports, the Rohit Sharma-led side will depart for Australia on November 10 and 11. 

India are set to take on Australia for the five-match Test series from November 22 and according to the reports, logistical constraints are the reason behind the team departing in two batches. Notably, the entire team cannot be flown in a single flight. 

Rohit Sharma To Fly With The Indian Team 

Meanwhile, the report mentioned that Rohit Sharma, who is likely to miss the first Test match, will also travel with the team. It is said that Rohit wants to train in Australian conditions ahead of the crucial series and will return to India for a brief period. 

Notably, there are reports that Rohit and his wife Ritika Sajdeh are expecting a second child, which is why the hitman might miss the Perth Test. Recently, a reporter asked Rohit about the same during a presser, to which he did not provide any clarity. 

“Rohit wants to train in Australia for a few days before possibly returning to India for personal reasons,” a source noted to TOI. 

All To Give In During Border-Gavaskar Trophy

The upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy is essential for both teams as India, who have dropped to second on the WTC standings after an embarrassing 0-3 series defeat against New Zealand, need to win four of the five matches to qualify for the finals.

In case, India fails to win four games, they still have a chance to qualify further, but would have to rely on the results of other teams.
