Despite excellent performances from both sides, India’s batting remains a matter of concern in the final game. Due to the senior players being out of form, the responsibility of taking the team to a respectable score in the entire series has fallen on the young players. Rohit’s exclusion from the Sydney Test in the current BGT is due to his poor form and struggle to score runs. The experienced opening batsman has scored only 31 runs in five innings at an average of 6.20 in the ongoing series against Australia.

Whatever is in the interest of the team, we are trying to do the same. Two changes, Rohit has opted to rest and Akash Deep is injured, so Prasidh has been included,” Bumrah told ESPNcricinfo.
