KL Rahul will be another major absentee apart from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah. With KL Rahul out, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan will open for India. However, BCCI hasn’t yet sought a replacement. Hardik Pandya has been elevated to vice-captaincy role.
This was the reason why India’s customary press conference on Wednesday was delayed. Rishabh Pant is likely to attend the press conference now. Rishabh was appointed India’s vice-captain.
