Before the do-or-die match, India is trailing 1-2 as Rohit Sharma&#8217;s future as a captain seems to be a matter of concern. When asked about the availability of Rohit for Sydney Test, coach Gautam Gambhir gave an eerie reply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gambhir stated that a decision on the playing XI will be made after taking a look on the pitch. This is an eerie reply as the name of the skipper is the first thing that is given on the playing XI. Since Gambhir has officially not confirmed Rohit&#8217;s name in the playing XI, all sorts of speculations are coming out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former Royal Challengers Bengaluru wicketkeeper Shreevats Goswami took to his social media and has pitched the idea of Shubman Gill leading the team for the match in Sydney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Going by a particular visual , gill to lead \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf3 in Sydney test ?
