By: Tupaki Desk | 1 Jan 2021 1:48 PM GMT
Indian opener Rohit Sharma aka Hitman who has joined the Indian team in Australia for the remaining two Tests in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar trophy was appointed as the vice-captain of India.
Rohit Sharma will replace Cheteshwar Arvind Pujara who served as the vice-captain for the Indian team in the second test after Ajinkya Rahane was made the captain due to Kohli's absence.
However, the happiness of being appointed as the Vice-captain did not last too long for Pujara, as he was dropped from the post for the next and third test against the kangaroo team.
To everyone's surprise, Rohit Sharma is not a regular player in the longest format, unlike ODIs and T20s. In the two formats, Rohit Sharma has been opening the innings.
Even during India's tour of Newzealand, he was not made the part of playing XI in the longest format. He lost his position in the Test matches due to his injury.
Rohit Sharma made his test debut back in 2023 and played just 32 tests. Despite playing less fewer matches, he scored 2141 runs. He scored six centuries in the Test format, including his maiden double ton against South Africa.
