Rohit Sharma to miss 1st ODI against Australia
Coming to cricket, Rohit Sharma will be missing the 1st ODI against Australia, on March 17 in his home city, Mumbai, because of personal reasons. It has been reported that Rohit will be attending the wedding of his brother-in-law.
In Rohit’s absence, vice-captain Hardik Pandya will lead the team against Australia, who will be captained by Steve Smith in the absence of Pat Cummins, who is unavailable because of the passing away of his mother recently.
Rohiit will return to lead the side in the 2nd ODI on March 19 in Visakhapatnam.
