India’s captain Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian team in the upcoming 2-match test series against Bangladesh. India, so far, is leading the charts in the World Test Championship 2023-25 and will try to increase its lead in the table by winning the test matches against Bangladesh. It will be the first red-ball assignment for Gautam Gambhir as head coach and the first for the new bowling coach of the Indian team, Morne Morkel, who joined Gautam Gambhir’s staff ahead of the test series against Bangladesh. The test series will also allow India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, to register his name in cricket’s history books.
Rohit Sharma, who is known for his six-hitting capabilities and his effortless play, is on the verge of breaking the record of the former Indian player Virender Sehwag, who is on the list of the top 10 six-hitters in international test cricket with 91 sixes in his test career. Rohit Sharma so far has 84 sixes in his pocket and needs 8 sixes to surpass Virender Sehwag to top the charts of the most sixes in test cricket by an Indian batter. He is also close to making another record in International cricket as he is currently standing at 48 international centuries so far and requires two more to touch the mark of 50 international centuries.
If the “Hit-man” strikes two more centuries in the upcoming test series, he will join Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli in the list of Indian batters with 50 centuries in international cricket. Sachin Tendulkar has an impressive 100 centuries in international cricket, whereas Virat Kohli has 80 so far. India has announced its squad for the first test, and here are the names included in that.
Rohit Sharma (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohd. Siraj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Yash Dayal.
