New Delhi. The first Test between India and Australia is being played in Perth. Rohit Sharma is not a part of the first test. But he joined the team on 24 November. Indian captain Rohit Sharma started practicing in the nets as soon as he reached Perth. At the same time, under the leadership of captain Jasprit Bumrah, Team India is slowly but surely moving towards victory in the first test against Australia.
Rohit Sharma was on leave due to the birth of his son and reached Perth on Sunday evening. He was seen batting in the nets during lunch on Monday, where he faced reserve fast bowlers Navdeep Saini, Yash Dayal and Mukesh Kumar. Rohit Sharma will forget the defeat in the Test series against New Zealand and will enter the second Test.

The Indian team will go to Canberra on Wednesday for a two-day practice match starting from November 30. This is a day-night match with pink ball. This match will be important for the preparation for the second Test starting in Adelaide from December 6. Rohit is expected to play in this match in Canberra, as the pink Kookaburra ball in Adelaide presents a different kind of challenge for the batsmen, especially during twilight when the ball rotates more than usual.
India's squad for the second test: Rohit Sharma (captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar
