SYDNEY: Drama, intrigue and a hint of tragedy surrounded captain Rohit Sharma on match eve here at the Sydney Cricket Ground. This tour of Australia may claim its second major cricketing career after Ravichandran Ashwin if Rohit Sharma does not take the field in the fifth Test against Australia on Friday, as indications suggest.
Removing a Test captain in the middle of a high-profile away series and dropping him from the playing XI has no precedent in Indian cricket, but that is exactly what may happen if Jasprit Bumrah walks out for the toss with Pat Cummins on Friday morning.
