Jasprit Bumrah will lead India against Australia if...: Gambhir clears air on captaincy

Gautam Gambhir, head coach of the Indian cricket team, announced that Jasprit Bumrah will captain the team in Rohit Sharma's absence for the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia in Perth. Sharma's participation is uncertain due to family commitments. If Sharma is unavailable, KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran are being considered as opening batsmen.
