India had to face a series defeat after 10 years in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/india-lost-sydney-test-in-two-and-a-half-days-australia-defeated-by-6-wickets/1751">India lost the fifth Test by 6 wickets in Sydney on Sunday and the series went to the home team 3-1.</a> Captain Rohit Sharma has lost the last two series against New Zealand and Australia.

Rohit also rested himself in the fifth Test, looking at his performance in the Test, he is sure to lose the captaincy. Jasprit Bumrah is the vice-captain, but his injury can become a problem for the team. Virat Kohli left the captaincy 3 years ago, but in Sydney he captained brilliantly in Bumrah&#39;s absence.

<h2>Rohit&#39;s ouster is considered certain due to poor performance.</h2>

Under Rohit Sharma&#39;s captaincy, Team India lost the Test series against New Zealand 3-0 at home. India lost a Test series at home after 12 years. He captained 3 times in Australia and the team lost in 2 matches. The third match was drawn due to rain. With this, India also had to face a series defeat in BGT after 10 years.

Rohit&#39;s batting also has a big role in continuing his captaincy. Which is going very bad at the moment. He could score only 31 runs in Australia. In 2024, he got out on single digit score 10 times. Due to which he had to drop himself in Sydney. Bumrah and Kohli captained better than him, so it is very difficult for Rohit to remain the Test captain.

<h2>Bumrah can also become captain</h2>

Jasprit Bumrah captained in 2 Tests on the Australia tour. The team won in Perth, but Australia won the Sydney Test. Bumrah got injured in the first innings of the match, he complained of back spasm. After which he could not bowl again in the match, due to which India could not even create pressure in the second innings.

Bumrah always struggles with fitness, after getting injured for the last time in 2022, he was away from cricket for about 15 months. It is also necessary to give him rest for 1-2 matches during a long Test series. In India, it is not even necessary for Bumrah to play all the matches to win. Therefore, he cannot be made the permanent captain. Still, if he becomes the captain, then the team will have to appoint 1 or 2 vice-captains, who will take over the responsibility in Bumrah&#39;s absence.

<h2>Rishabh Pant is also a good option for the Indian team</h2>

There are only 3 players in the current Indian team, whose place in the playing-11 does not seem to be in danger. Jasprit Bumrah, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant. Yashasvi is very young at the moment and Pant has become the world&#39;s best wicketkeeper batsman in the last 6 years.

Pant has played many match-winning innings for the team in this format. In Sydney too, India had given a respectable target to Australia due to his innings on a difficult pitch. Making him the captain can be a bit risky, because his batting is also very risky. However, if India makes him the captain, then the team can get shocking but positive results like his batting.

<h3>Can Virat Kohli also take over the command?</h3>

Virat Kohli is India&#39;s best Test captain. In 2020, the ICC also made him the captain of the best Test team of the decade. He is the first captain of India to win a Test series in Australia. He did this feat in 2018, after which the team won the series in Australia in 2021 as well. Kohli also captained in Sydney after Bumrah got injured. Under his attacking captaincy, the team took a significant lead in the first innings. Kohli also captained in the second innings, but due to the lack of fast bowlers and low target, he could not put pressure on the Kangaroo batsmen.

Kohli has 7 Test wins in SENA countries, which is the highest among Asian captains. Kohli left the captaincy in January 2022, after which India&#39;s bad phase in Tests started. So bad that India lost Tests at home against 3 teams. Despite the lead in BGT, they lost and had to face a whitewash at home from a team like New Zealand. New Zealand had never won 2 consecutive Tests in India before this.

However, Kohli&#39;s batting form has also not been anything special in Tests in the last 5 years. He could score only 2 centuries. Also, BCCI has not given the captaincy back to any old permanent captain for a long time. Kohli can captain only for 2 years, BCCI may have to choose a new captain again.

India had to face a series defeat after 10 years in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. India lost the fifth Test by 6 wickets in Sydney on Sunday and the series went to the home team 3-1.

Who is India's next Test captain?

India lost Sydney Test in two and a half days

With India&#39;s defeat by 6 wickets in the Sydney Test, Australia has won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 3-1. On Sunday, on the third day of the match, India gave a target of 162 runs in the second innings. Australia achieved this by losing 4 wickets.

Team India&#39;s top order failed in this match as well. This became the biggest reason for India&#39;s defeat. Jasprit Bumrah, who was captaining in this match, did not bowl in Australia&#39;s second innings. Bumrah got injured during Australia&#39;s first innings.

<h2>Reasons for India&#39;s defeat...</h2>

<h2>Batting order flopped again</h2>

Team India&#39;s batting order failed once again. Rishabh Pant was the top scorer in both innings, apart from him no batsman could score even 30 runs. Yashasvi, Rahul, Shubman and Virat, all four players could not convert the good start into a big innings.

<h2>Pant played well but did not get support</h2>

After good bowling in the first innings, India took a lead of 4 runs. Pant scored 61 runs in the second innings, apart from him the rest of the batsmen could not do anything special. When Pant was out, India&#39;s score was 124 runs for 5 wickets. After this the next 5 batsmen were all out for 33 runs. Australia got a modest target of 162 runs.

<h2>Bumrah&#39;s injury turning point</h2>

Jasprit Bumrah got injured while bowling in the first innings on the second day. He went for a scan, where the complaint of back spasm came to light. He could not bowl in the second innings, due to which the team could not put pressure on the Kangaroo batsmen. If Bumrah had been fit, Australia would have had a lot of difficulty in chasing the target. In the first innings, Bumrah took important wickets of Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne.

<h3>Bowlers could not take advantage of the good pitch</h3>

Even though Bumrah was injured, the team bowled out Australia in the first innings even without him. The Sydney pitch was challenging for the batsmen, despite this the Indian bowlers could not stop the Kangaroo batsmen in the second innings.

7 mm of grass was left on the pitch, which was creating problems for the batsmen from the first day itself.

<h2>Virat batting failed in the last test as well</h2>

When Virat Kohli came on the Australia tour, there were hopes of his return to form. He regained form by scoring a century in the Perth Test, but he could not do anything special in the remaining 4 tests. In Sydney, he could only score 17 and 6 runs. He was out on a ball going outside the off stump in 8 out of 9 innings on this tour. The inability of a legendary batsman like Kohli to perform also became a big reason for India&#39;s defeat.

With India's defeat by 6 wickets in the Sydney Test, Australia has won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 3-1. On Sunday, on the third day of the match, India gave a target of 162 runs in the second innings.

India lost Sydney Test in two and a half days: Australia defeated by 6 wickets

Captain Rohit dropped himself from Sydney Test

The toss in the Sydney Test proved the media reports that were going on all day on Thursday to be correct. Jasprit Bumrah arrived for the toss wearing a blazer. That means captain Rohit Sharma dropped himself, he is not playing the fifth Test. Shubman Gill got a chance in his place.

How much Rohit&#39;s dropping himself will benefit Team India; it will be known only after the Test match is over, but it has been seen many times in cricket history, when the captain has dropped himself in the middle of a series or tournament.

In 2014, Sri Lanka won the T20 World Cup after dropping captain Dinesh Chandimal. The same year, Mahendra Singh Dhoni retired from Tests after the third match in Australia. Virat Kohli became the Test captain in his place, who proved to be the best Test captain of the team.

<h2>In 2014, 3 captains dropped themselves from the Playing-11</h2>

<h3>Dinesh Chandimal: Sri Lanka won the 2014 T20 World Cup after Dinesh Chandimal left the captaincy.</h3>

Sri Lanka made it to the 2007 and 2011 ODI World Cup and the 2009 and 2012 T20 World Cup finals, but each time the team remained runner-up. Dinesh Chandimal became the captain in the 2014 T20 World Cup. However, he was out of form in this format.

Chandimal was banned for one match due to slow over rate, he could not play the last match of the league against New Zealand. Lasith Malinga got the captaincy, but the team could score only 119 runs. Despite this, the team won the match by 59 runs. Chandimal dropped himself from the semi-finals. The team entered under the captaincy of Malinga, defeated teams like West Indies and India and also won the title.

<h3>MS Dhoni: India got the best Test captain</h3>

On 30 December 2014, MS Dhoni retired from Test cricket after the Melbourne Test between India and Australia was drawn. With one match left in the series, Virat Kohli took over the captaincy. He drew the match in Sydney, but the team lost the series 2-0. Virat went on to become India&#39;s best Test captain, winning 40 out of 68 Tests. These also included 7 wins in SENA countries.

Rohit Sharma could only score 31 runs at an average of 6.2 in the 3 Tests of Border Gavaskar Trophy.

Rohit Sharma be dropped from Sydney Test ?

The playing-11 of any Test team starts with the captain. Then the rest of the players are selected. The situation of the Indian team before the Sydney Test is the opposite of this. The first name of Team India is not decided in this match against Australia starting on January 3.

On Thursday, Indian coach Gautam Gambhir was questioned about Rohit Sharma playing in the Sydney Test, but Gambhir did not give a direct answer. He just said- &#39;The playing-11 will be decided after seeing the pitch.&#39; Apart from Gambhir&#39;s answer, signs of this were clearly seen in the training session of Team India.

At present, the Indian team is trailing 1-2 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The team has to play the last match of the 5-match series in Sydney from January 3.

<h2>Rohit, struggling with poor form, could score only 31 runs in BGT-2024</h2>

Indian captain Rohit Sharma has been a flop in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He has been able to score only 31 runs in 5 innings of 3 Tests. His average has been 6.20. Rohit Sharma is in the last tour of his career. He has been able to score only 131 runs in the year 2024 at an average of 24.76.

<h3>Dhoni left the captaincy after the defeat in Melbourne</h3>

11 years ago today in 2014, Mahendra Singh Dhoni&#39;s captaincy also ended in Melbourne. He announced his retirement after the Melbourne Test.

The playing-11 of any Test team starts with the captain. Then the rest of the players are selected. The situation of the Indian team before the Sydney Test is the opposite of this.

After the defeat in the Melbourne Test, Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir has expressed his displeasure with the players. According to the Indian Express, soon after the players returned to the dressing room after the defeat in Melbourne, Gambhir told the entire team that enough is enough.

Gambhir also expressed displeasure over the wrong shot selection. Without naming anyone, he gave a clear message to the players making excuses of playing a neutral game that they have to play according to the situation.

<h2>Have to play according to the coach&#39;s plan</h2>

According to the report, Gambhir has told the players that he had given them 6 months to play in their own way, but now it is all over. From now on, any player who does not play according to his plan for the team will be thanked.

<h2>Pujara wanted Pujara in the team</h2>

Gambhir had demanded the return of Cheteshwar Pujara in this series. Gambhir wanted Pujara to return to the Test team, but the selectors refused. 36-year-old Pujara played an important role in the last two Australian tours. He scored the most 521 runs in seven innings in the 2018 tour. He also scored 271 runs in the 2021 tour. Pujara is remembered for his important role in the Gabba Test, where he played 211 balls to give India victory.

<h2>Pant&#39;s irresponsible shot</h2>

Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli were also seen playing irresponsible shots in the Melbourne Test. While captain Rohit Sharma advised Pant on his shot, Sunil Gavaskar criticized his shot. Called it stupid. Pant was caught at deep-third while trying to play a scoop shot on Scott Boland&#39;s ball in the first innings. At the same time, Kohli was out several times in the entire series on a ball going outside the off side.

<h2>India lost on the last day in Melbourne</h2>

The Indian team lost the fourth Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia by 184 runs. After this defeat, the team is trailing 1-2 in the 5-match series. The last match will be played in Sydney from January 3.

<h3>The road to the WTC final is more difficult</h3>

After this defeat, India&#39;s road to the final of the World Test Championship has become more difficult. The team is in third place with 52.78% points. Whereas, Australia is in second place with 61.46%. South Africa&#39;s team has reached the final with 66.67% points.

After the defeat in the Melbourne Test, Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir has expressed his displeasure with the players.

On the performance of the team, head coach Gambhir said - enough is enough

Pakistan (PAK) vs New Zealand (NZ), 1st Match, ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Match Preview

The Indian team has lost the fourth Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia by 184 runs. The biggest reason for this defeat in Melbourne was a controversial decision by the third umpire, in which Yashasvi Jaiswal was out after scoring 84 runs. When Yashasvi&#39;s wicket fell, India had to play 22 overs and 3 wickets were left to draw the match. From here India could have drawn the match. But after Yashasvi&#39;s dismissal, India&#39;s lower order collapsed.

Team India faced this situation due to the poor performance of the top order batsmen. Apart from Yashasvi, the opening 3 batsmen Rohit Sharma (9), KL Rahul (0) and Virat Kohli (5) could not reach double figures.

Yashasvi recovered the team from the initial setbacks by sharing an 88-run partnership with Rishabh Pant, but Pant lost his wicket by playing a bad shot. After this, the wickets of Jadeja and Reddy also fell quickly. Yashasvi Jaiswal (84 runs) was out due to a controversial decision. He was declared not out by the field umpire, but the third umpire gave him out. After Yashasvi, Akash Deep (7 runs) was also given out controversially.

Australia captain Cummins took 2 wickets in the same over. He has taken 3 wickets. Mitchell Starc, Scott Boland, Nathan Lyon and Travis Head got one wicket each.

<h2>India will start campaign against Bangladesh</h2>

India is in Group-A. Pakistan, Bangladesh and New Zealand are in the team&#39;s group. At the same time, Australia, England, South Africa and Afghanistan are in the second group. There will be 2 semi-finals on 4 and 5 March, while the final will be played on 9 March.

<h2>India-Pakistan teams will not play in each other&#39;s country</h2>

India and Pakistan teams will not play cricket in each other&#39;s country. All the matches of India in the Champions Trophy 2025 will be played at neutral venues. The Pakistani team will also not come to India for any tournament till 2027. Its matches will also be held at neutral venues.

Information about this decision of ICC came to light on Thursday, 19 December. This decision was taken earlier in the meeting. The 2025 Women&#39;s ODI World Cup is to be held in India, and the T20 World Cup in 2026 is to be held in India and Sri Lanka.

Earlier, when the ICC told the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) about organizing the Champions Trophy 2025 in a hybrid model, the PCB had demanded from the ICC not to send the team to India, which has now been accepted by the ICC.

<h2>All 15 members agreed for hybrid model</h2>

A meeting of all the board members was held on 5 December in the presence of ICC&#39;s new chairman Jay Shah. Shah also reached the headquarters in Dubai this month. In the meeting, all 15 board members agreed for the hybrid model. Pakistan also did not oppose the decision in the meeting.

<h3>Why was the decision delayed</h3>

Initially, India refused to send its team to Pakistan for this tournament. Pakistan was adamant at first that India would have to come to Pakistan, but after India&#39;s tough stand, the Pakistan Cricket Board has finally agreed to the hybrid model.

Ever since Pakistan got the hosting of the Champions Trophy, it was being speculated that the Indian team might refuse to go to Pakistan. India had earlier refused to go to Pakistan to play the Asia Cup in 2023. Then India&#39;s matches in the Asia Cup were held in Sri Lanka.

After this, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had first proposed to hold all India&#39;s matches in Lahore and send the players to India after the match. When India did not accept it, PCB also refused the hybrid model.

ICC released the schedule of Champions Trophy 2025 on Tuesday. The tournament, to be held in a hybrid model, will start from February 19 and run till March 9. 15 matches will be played in 19 days.
