India&#8217;s stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has returned to lead the team after a historic 295-run victory during the series opener in Perth. During he toss before the fifth Test began, Bumrah stated that Rohit had &#8220;<strong><em>chosen to rest himself<\/em><\/strong>&#8221; because of his poor form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rishabh Pant has stated that Rohit Sharma deciding to opt out of the match was really an emotional decision, and was a decision where not everyone can be involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<strong><em>It was an emotional decision.

I cannot explain more than that<\/em><\/strong>,&#8221; said Rishabh Pant in the post-day press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Indian team is being led by Jasprit Bumrah for the Sydney test, but did not get a good start as they got all out for just 185. Rishabh Pant was the highest run-scorer as he scored 40 runs, along with Bumrah making a crucial contribution at the end as he scored 22 runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Australia got to bat three overs and they started off with Sam Konstas hitting a boundary off Jasprit Bumrah on the first ball. However, he got the crucial wicket of Usman Khawaja right before the stumps got called on Day 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rishabh Pant stated that the decision taken by
