Rohit Sharma Out Of 1st Test vs Bangladesh, KL Rahul To Lead India In His Absence
India captain Rohit Sharma on Sunday was ruled out of the first Test against Bangladesh due to a thumb injury. The BCCI named Abhimanyu Easwaran as his replacement for the opening Test, which starts Wednesday, December 14. Rohit had taken a blow to his left thumb, while fielding during the second ODI against Bangladesh earlier this week in Mirpur, and was later taken for scans at a local hospital. Easwaran comes into the side after scoring 299 runs in two games for the India 'A' side currently touring Bangladesh. KL Rahul will lead the team in his absence.
