It was a classy knock on the other day by Rohit Sharma at MCG. Perhaps, it would be one of his best knocks, as far as his future in the Indian side is concerned, especially, in Test format. Meanwhile, he will be missing the final Test, as he is travelling back home to visit his wife, who delivered a baby girl. For the same, we figured out 3 Likely Players To Replace Rohit Sharma For SCG Test

3. Kuldeep Yadav:

Well, the absence of Kuldeep Yadav might open the chance for Kuldeep Yadav to get into the playing XI. The chinaman has acquired quite a success in the recent past, especially, in the overseas tours. However, his inclusion in the Lords’ Test saw the other side of things.

But, with Australia’s poor ability in dealing the spinners, especially, with the young batsman filled in the lineup, Kuldeep might get the nod. However, there is only a bleak chance for the youngster.

2. Ravichandran Ashwin:

Ashwin would be one of the strong contenders to replace Rohit Sharma in the playing XI. Ravichandran Ashwin has been brilliant for India in overseas Test of late. He was brilliant in the first Test, which would certainly put him ahead of Kuldeep Yadav.

1. Hardik Pandya:

Well, we might see Hardik Pandya returning to the game at the highest level after the injury. The fast bowling all-rounder is coming after a good game in the Ranji Trophy. Though he might be a bit rusty this would be the best time to embed him into the playing XI. He got the knack of turning the things in a moment of time.

The addition of Hardik Pandya will also bring a decent balance to the team in both sections of the game. Most Probably, he is in the race to bag the vacant spot left by Rohit Sharma.
