Who will be the captain?

But recently, reports have come out that not Rohit but Jasprit Bumrah will take charge of Team India in the Perth Test. Actually, Hitman is going to miss the first test match. Recently his wife Ritika Sajdeh has given birth to a son. In such a situation, he would like to spend this time with his family.
top order
Shubman Gill is out of the first test match. In such a situation, the biggest question is who will play in place of Gill? It is being told that the team management can call Abhimanyu Easwaran to bat at number three as a replacement for Gill.
Apart from this, in the absence of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul may get a chance to open. This means that Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul can open the innings in the Perth Test match. At the same time, Abhimanyu Easwaran will come to bat at number three.
middle order
Talking about the middle order, star batsman Virat Kohli is certain to be at number four in the Perth Test. At the same time, Rishabh Pant can be seen playing as a wicketkeeper-batsman, who would like to come to bat at number-5. Dhruv Jurel can be included at number 6. Spin all-rounder can be selected at number 7. There are two options available in the form of Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, but on the basis of experience, Jaddu is expected to get a chance.
bowling unit
Nitish Reddy may get a chance to debut in the Perth Test, because he has been a part of Team India by consistently performing well at the domestic level. In such a situation, if we talk about pace attack, under the leadership of Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj and Nitish Reddy can be seen handling the responsibility.
There is full hope that the fast bowlers will get help on the Perth pitch, hence the team management can choose a combination of 4 fast bowlers and one spinner.
India's probable players for Perth Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Dhruv Jurel, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj.
