Virat Kohli could be on the verge of a dramatic return to the Test captaincy as the Indian cricket team finds itself at a critical juncture ahead of the fifth anoud final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.

This may see the return of Virat Kohli, the Test csaptain. The same report also suggests that Kohli could be reappointed as India's Test captain. Kohli, who led the team to 40 wins in 68 matches, was the first Indian skipper to win a Test series Down Under (2018/19).

According to a report from The Times of India, Rohit is ‘unlikely’ to be part of the Indian Test setup after the series against Australia; however, he may not announce his retirement from the format immediately. Rohit can hold off on such a decision to avoid exacerbating the already tense atmosphere in the team.

Rohit Sharma has come under fierce criticism for his recent poor form with the bat, while his leadership has also come under heavy scrutiny in the aftermath of India's home Test series loss to New Zealand.

On the other hand, Rohit Sharma continued his poor form with the bat and scored just 30 odd runs in five innings. Due to their rough patch, their ICC Test ranking has taken a hit severely. While Kohli has slipped to 24th rank with 633 ratings, Rohit finds himself in the 40th spot with 560 ratings after having a forgettable Australia tour.

When asked if Rohit Sharma, the designated India captain, will play in Sydney or not, coach Gautam Gambhir gave a strange reply
