Just two days remain until the opening Test between India and West Indies at Dominica, and the anticipation is growing. However, there was a surprise when India captain Rohit Sharma was absent from the team’s training session on Sunday. Speculation began among fans about the possible reason for his absence, but it has now been clarified that Rohit skipped the session because it was optional. As a result, he was also not featured in the latest practice post shared by the BCCI.
It is expected that Rohit will join the practice session today. Considering his recent lackluster form, all eyes will be on him as fans hope he can regain his touch and confidence by scoring runs in the upcoming match.

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has expressed strong criticism towards Rohit Sharma and his captaincy.
“I expected more from him (Rohit). In India it is different, but when you do well overseas that is really the test. That is where he has been a little disappointing. Even in the T20 format, with all the experience of the IPL, hundreds of matches as captain, with a mix of best IPL players not being able to get to the finals has been disappointing,” Gavaskar said.
