Rohit Sharma, India's cricket team captain, will be rested for the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney, sources say. Jasprit Bumrah will lead the team in his place. Rohit has struggled in the series, scoring only 31 runs in three matches. He also missed the first Test to stay with his family after the birth of his second child. Head coach Gautam Gambhir said the final playing XI would be announced after reviewing the pitch. India, trailing 1-2 in the series, must win the Test to keep their World Test Championship hopes alive.
