Jasprit Bumrah lauded regular captain Rohit Sharma’s decision to rest for the final Test in Sydney. Bumrah stepped in as captain, emphasizing the positive mindset in the team.

India made a bold move by changing their captain despite trailing 2-1 in the Border-Gavaskar series. Rohit’s exclusion opened the door for Shubman Gill to return to the playing XI. On the eve of the match, head coach Gautam Gambhir had avoided confirming Rohit’s availability, signaling the potential change.

At the toss, Bumrah highlighted the team’s unity and focus. “Rohit’s decision to rest shows his leadership. He prioritizes the team’s best interests. The dressing room atmosphere remains positive, with a focus on learning and growth,” Bumrah stated.

India now aims to level the series and retain the trophy, showcasing adaptability and teamwork under Bumrah’s leadership.
