Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar has shared his words of wisdom for captain Rohit Sharma ahead of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy Down Under.

Jasprit Bumrah is expected to stand in as skipper — an appointment Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar believes should be locked in for all five matches, regardless of when Rohit returns. “It is important for the captain to play the first Test match,” Gavaskar said on Sports Tak.

The Indian skipper is likely to miss the first match because of personal reasons, he is expected to join team from second game of series

If Jasprit Bumrah can take India to a 1-0 lead in Perth, it could throw Rohit Sharma's return as captain into question, implied the former Australia captain.

Under Rohit’s leadership, India beat Australia in a four-match Test series last year. MS Dhoni was the first Indian skipper to beat Australia in four Tests of a series. Dhoni had achieved the historic feat in 2013 on Indian soil.
