Its been a few games where fans have not seen Rohit Sharma in action due to an injury. Things became complicated after the Hitman's name was not included in the Austalia tour series. He is currently captaining Mumbai Indians (MI) against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their last match.

India is all set to tour Australia for a three-match ODI series, a three-match T20I series, and a four-match Test series. The first game of the tour will commence on November 27.

About Rohit Sharma, the BCCI had announced that the medical team will monitor his fitness and currently, he is not fit to play and that’s the reason why he has not been selected in any of the formats.

Talking about the same, the President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Sourav Ganguly said "We are monitoring Ishant and Rohit. Ishant is not completely out. He will become a part of the Test series," he said. "With Rohit, we want him fit for Australia. At some stage, if he is fit, I am sure the selectors will rethink his position."  

Ganguly said there was the option of flying the duo later than the rest of the squad to Australia, despite the bio-bubble and quarantine rules. "They can be sent later. There are flights to Australia."

In the absence of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul has been named as the vice-captain for the limited-overs. 

However, Rohit was seen practising in the nets for Mumbai Indians (MI) who posted a video to make things even more confusing.

Sourav Ganguly also spoke about India’s tour of Australia. He said, "Australia in Australia is always tough. They will be a lot stronger with (Steve) Smith and (David) Warner back. Players like (Marnus) Labuschagne have become better. 

"It will be a good test for India, but they are capable of winning. It will be a good series. It’s a 50-50 chance for both teams. Runs on the board will be important. Whoever bats well will win the series," the former captain added.
