5th Test Day 2 | IND vs AUS LIVE UPDATES: It's team management call - Pant on Rohit opting out of Sydney Test
Rohit's decision handed his deputy Bumrah the leadership role. Bumrah had captained the side in the series-opener as well when Rohit took a short paternity break. India won that match in Perth by 295 runs, their only victory on the tour so far.
"Our captain has shown leadership, he has opted to rest," said Bumrah at the toss.
"It shows the unity we have in the team," he added in front of a packed arena, trying to put an end to talks of dissension in the dressing room.
The day, however, ended with India struggling yet again, dismissed for 185 after opting to bat.
Pant top-scored with a restrained 98-ball 40 and once he was done talking about how much it took for him to curb his aggressive instincts, the chirpy wicketkeeper-batter was asked about his thoughts on Rohit and his unparalleled decision.
"It was an emotional moment. He is our leader but it's a team management call (of which Rohit is a part). I was not part of the conversations and can't say more," he said.
