As per the reports in Indian Express, it is learned that one of the senior players in the team is ready to take the captaincy on an interim basis. Although the name of the player is not known, he is ready to take charge as an interim option amid all the talks related to Rohit Sharma's retirement.
Rohit Sharma, who missed the first Test in Perth due to the birth of his child, joined the team in Adelaide. In his absence, it was Jasprit Bumrah, who captained the team and guided India to win. But since the first Test, some players have been eyeing the captaincy role and have openly mentioned that they want to do something special in the ongoing tour.

This all has come after the extremely poor performances of Rohit Sharma with the bat in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He joined the team in Adelaide and decided to bat in the middle so that KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal could continue opening, especially after heroics in Perth.
