The fifth Test between India and Australia is finally underway and India have made a massive change by dropping their regular skipper Rohit Sharma. It is a big move as Rohit is a celebrated cricketer and a World Cup winning captain and Jasprit Bumrah has been handed the leadership role for the final Test with India desperately searching for a win.

According to the reports, not all is well between Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir. It has been learnt that Rohit and Gambhir have not been on same page on various selection decisions and it is still not clear whether Rohit has decided to rest himself or has been dropped by the management.

Rohit Sharma Dropped; Jasprit Bumrah Leading India In 5th Test

There are numerous videos floating off some passionate discussions between Gambhir and Rohit Sharma. In the same vain, they were spotted having an animated chat again before the toss for the fifth Test match with Jasprit Bumrah alongside them. In the video, Rohit Sharma comes up to Gambhir and looks visibly disturbed, he seem to be making something clear to the head coach.

Gambhir was responding calmly while Bumrah kept pondering around them, adding his insights in between. As it turned out, Jasprit Bumrah walked out as captain and won an important toss and now Gambhir would be hoping that his bold decision pays off and India end the series on a high.

Australia are leading the BGT 2024-25 by 2-1 margin after a win at MCG and a win in this game would confirm their place in the WTC final while India will be knocked out.
