During the Perth Test match, Rohit Sharma joined Team India. He will assume captaincy for the second game, which begins in Adelaide on December 6. The birth of his second kid caused the India Test and ODI captain to miss the first game of the series. On November 24, Rohit landed in Australia. Prior to the second test, he will lead Team India in a two-day match against the Prime Minister's XI.
Rohit needs just one more victory to pass Ricky Ponting and take second place on a prestigious list. If India wins 2-0 in Adelaide, Rohit will surpass Ponting as the captain with the most Border-Gavaskar Trophy victories. During Ponting's tenure, Australia dominated world cricket, although they only won two of their eleven Test matches against India. With a victory in the second match, Rohit will also surpass Australia as India's second-most successful Test skipper.
MS Dhoni, who guided India to eight victories from thirteen games, is at the top of the list. He is also at the top of the list overall. Ajinkya Rahane, Sunil Gavaskar, Sourav Ganguly, and Virat Kohli come after him.
The squad won three Test matches against Australia under the leadership of the past captains of India. Virat and Rahane led India to victory in the Test series in Australia.
With two victories over Australia, Rohit needs another victory to take second place among Indian captains with the most victories versus Australia. In a Test match played in Australia, he has not captained India. During the last Australia tour, Rohit served as Ajinkya Rahane's deputy.
Early in 2022, he took Rahane's role as vice-captain before taking over as Test captain. Adelaide will host the second India-Australia Test match from December 6–10. Pink balls will be used in this game, which can be played day or night.
