New Delhi. Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma is going to become a father for the second time. Former batsman and currently playing the role of commentator, Abhinav Mukund confirmed these speculations and said that Rohit and his/her wife Ritika Sajdeh are going to become parents for the second time.

Whereas Abhimanyu Easwaran can play as his/her cover.

Border Gavaskar Trophy important for India
After India lost the series against New Zealand 0-3 at home, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy will become even more important as both the teams are again trying to reach the final of the World Test Championship (WTC). For the first time, the Indian team has got a clean sweep in a series of 3 or more test matches at home. Earlier, Team India had lost the 2-match Test series against South Africa after 24 years.

Need 4 wins and a draw to qualify directly
Team India now has to tour Australia. In the Border Gavaskar Trophy, the Indian team has to play a 5-match series against Australia. To reach the WTC final, Team India will have to win 4 tests on the Australia tour and draw the fifth one. This means that after one Test defeat, India’s dream of qualifying directly for the WTC final may be shattered. The Indian team has won the last two consecutive series in Australia.
