There is no Virat Kohli. So Ajinkya Rahane will lead the visiting Indian team in Australia for the remaining three events. He is the captain of the national team for the third time in his career.
Previously, Rahane was selected as Kohli’s backup in the 2016/17 season. Rahane made his debut for the national team in 2016. A year later, he became test captain in Kohli’s absence against Afghanistan.

Rahane’s success as a leader is 100 percent. Mumbaikars will now be desperate to maintain his success in the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
Meanwhile, Cheteshwar Pujara was announced as Rahane’s alternate. He is the co-captain of India in the remaining three events. In this way, nobody becomes vice captain of India if they play on Indian soil. However, the co-captain from India was announced during the overseas tour.
Cheteshwar Pujara is the oldest test cricketer in the national team right now. He made his debut in 2010. After his debut, Pujara played international cricket for a decade. Previously, he led the team in India.
Pujara is not the captain of Saurashtra as he does not play much in domestic cricket. Pujara is the third official vice captain of the national team after 2014. Previously, Ishant Sharma was Kohli’s assistant. Although it has not been officially announced.
Meanwhile, the Indian cricket team announced the first XI one day before the match.
Prithvi Shaw and Riddhiman Saha were eliminated from the Melbourne Test. Shubhaman Gill, Rabindra Jadeja, Rishabh Panth and Mohammad Siraj have been included in the Trials as of Saturday.
After doing Prithvi 0 and 4 in two innings in Adelaide, it was almost certain that they would quit. On the other hand, Shubhaman has been performing regularly in recent years. He watched the preparation game in Australia. So instead of Prithvi, it was kind of a pucca to join Shubhaman Gill’s team. Shubhaman Gill will start the innings with Mayank Agarwal. Mayank will be desperate to get back in the race after failing the first test. He made his debut on the last Melbourne tour.
Similarly, Riddhiman Saha’s hitting ability has once again been questioned. In both innings, he was unable to provide confidence with the bat in difficult moments. So instead, the positive-minded Rishabh was returned. In tough times, Rishabh Panth’s aggressive mentality can boost batting team morale, says Team India. It also marked a formidable century in the preparation match.
