NEW DELHI: Pace sensation Jasprit Bumrah is set to lead Team India in a Test match for only the second time after regular skipper Rohit Sharma recently opted out of the series opener in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting on November 22 at Perth.
Rohit, 37, reportedly informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the team management, and the national selectors last Sunday about his unavailability for the Perth Test. The Indian captain has stayed back in Mumbai to be with his wife, Ritika, after the birth of their second child.
