India`s head coach, Gautam Gambhir, refrained from confirming whether captain Rohit Sharma would feature in the upcoming Sydney Test against Australia when directly asked about his inclusion.

Rohit was seen during warm-ups, practicing his drives in the nets and engaging in a lighthearted football kick-around with his teammates. However, when questioned about his availability for the match, Gambhir mentioned that the team has yet to finalize the playing XI and will make the decision the following day after evaluating the pitch conditions.
