KL Rahul's removal as vice captain doesn't indicate anything: Rohit Sharma
KL Although Rahul's spot in the Indian Test XI has received the most attention on social media and among experts, at least according to captain Rohit Sharma's comments during the pre-game press conference in Indore, it hasn't affected Team India's preparations for the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. With a spate of poor performances dating back to the South Africa trip last year, Rahul's position was always in question, and his performance in the first two Test matches in Nagpur and Delhi, as well as his subsequent removal from the vice-captaincy position, further fueled the discussion. Yet Rohit didn't budge an inch in his opinion of Rahul.Rohit and head coach Rahul Dravid made it plain during India's six-wicket victory in the second Test that players like Rahul, who has scored many hundreds abroad and is incredibly gifted, will always have the support of the team management. On the eve of the third Test, the Indian skipper made the same statement and added that Rahul's departure as the vice-captain of the team "indicates nothing. For the record, India has not selected a vice-captain for the series' last two tests. I also mentioned it following the last game.
Each athlete with promise will be given ample opportunity to demonstrate his abilities when we discuss guys who are going through a difficult moment. Whether or whether you are a vice captain has no bearing on the situation. He was perhaps the most senior at that time because he was the vice captain. On Tuesday, Rohit stated that "His dismissal from the vice captaincy doesn't mean anything." The replacement for Rahul as the opener for the third Test, Shubman Gill, has had lengthier hitting practises and prolonged catching exercises in the slips and at forward short-leg, all of which point to his return to the whites. Rohit, the captain, said that it is regular when questioned about the practises and Gill's enthusiastic participation, which was the highest in the series.The Eleven would only be revealed during the toss, according to Rohit.According to Gill and KL, it is how they get ready for every game.
The entire team had an optional training session today. Every 17 and 18 are taken into account. Rahul and Gill are not the only issues. But, we haven't decided on our starting lineup yet. I would rather it be revealed at the toss. Rohit said, "We can't rule out last-minute injuries and things, and we'll keep it exciting for you people too. The only Indian cricket players present for the optional practise session the day before the game were Rohit and Gill. Gill spent a lot of time batting in the nets, same like on Monday. It's not unusual for anyone to skip a practise before a Test match, and Rahul and many others did the same.India is up 2-0 in the four-match series, and a victory in the third test will not only guarantee them a spot in the World Test Championship final but also the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
