Head coach Gautam Gambhir on Monday said Jasprit Bumrah, as designated vice-captain, will lead India in the opening Test against Australia in Perth if regular skipper Rohit Sharma is unavailable for the game due to personal reasons.
The straight-talking former opener also indicated that KL Rahul could be asked to open the innings in place of Rohit.
The second batch of the Indian players is leaving for Perth, but Rohit has stayed back. Uncertainty remains if Rohit will compete in the series-opener.
"At the moment, there is no confirmation. We will let you know exactly what the situation will be. Hopefully, he is going to be available, but everything you want to know, you will get to know before the start of the series," Gambhir said.
"Bumrah is the vice-captain, so obviously if Rohit is not available, he is going to lead in Perth," the coach added.
Rahul likely to open Rohit's possible absence also leaves a spot vacant at the top of the batting order and Gambhir said one among the uncapped Abhimanyu Easwaran and KL Rahul, who both played in the unofficial Tests against Australia A for India A, will be picked.
"Obviously, there is Easwaran, there is KL there. We will take a call closer to the first Test match if Rohit is not available.
