IND vs AUS: Questions are being raised on Rohit Sharma's captaincy and his place in the team in the Border Gavaskar Test series. Since his return to the team on the Australia tour, India has not won a single match, while Rohit's bat has also remained silent during this period. Team India, which took a 1-0 lead in the series by winning the Perth Test, is now trailing 2-1 after 4 matches.
Now, amid this poor performance of Team India, reports of rift between the players in the dressing room are also coming to the fore. After the defeat in Melbourne, it is being said that there are some differences in the team and a senior player is ready to present himself as an interim option for captaincy.
According to the Indian Express report, when Rohit Sharma was not available for the Perth Test, some players wanted to captain the team, who were openly claiming that they would have to do something special on the tour. At the same time, a player of the team also expressed his desire to become the interim captain and introduced himself as 'Mr. Fix-It'. The name of that player has not been clear yet, but it has definitely come to light that he is a senior player.

It is worth noting that there are very few senior players in the current Indian squad. Apart from captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja are in this list. And it has also come to light that the 'Mr. Fix-It' player who expressed his desire to be the interim captain is not sure that any young player in the team is ready to become the captain.

The fifth and final Test match of the 5-match Border Gavaskar Test series is to be played in Sydney from January 3. India will have to win this match at all costs to stay in the race for the WTC final. If Team India loses this test, then India's hopes of reaching the WTC final will be dashed and India will almost be out of the WTC round.
