The stand-in skipper also added that the call on future of fourth Test in Brisbane will be taken by BCCI and team management.

It is likely that India will have the remaining of the full squad to choose their XI for the Sydney Test which pertains to only two spots in the lineup - of that of Rohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav.

VVS Laxman has said that India opener Rohit Sharma can reach a hundred if he sees off the new ball in the Sydney Test. 

The five Indian players, who were earlier put into isolation after allegedly breaching the bio-secure bubble, have also tested negative.

India captain Virat Kohli and limited-overs all-rounder Hardik Pandya were also pictured at a shop in Sydney in early December during the white-ball leg of the tour.

If Rohit Sharma plays the third Test against Australia in Sydney, he will be targeting a world record against Australia.

They have been placed into isolation for potential breach of COVID-19 protocols after a video went viral on social media where they were spotted having food at a restaurant in Melbourne.

Sydney Test will be Rohit's first Test appearance since November last year. He was injured for the New Zealand Test series in February. 

Rohit could now open with Shubman Gill in the third Test in place of out-of-form Mayank Agarwal although Ravi Shastri had said this week that they will talk to him and see if he is fit enough.

Rohit had joined the rest of his teammates at a Melbourne hotel after landing in the Australian city post the completion of the 14-day mandatory quarantine period in Sydney.

Rohit had sustained a hamstring injury during the IPL, which led to him missing the white-ball leg and the first two Tests of the ongoing tour.

Rohit's entry certainly adds to the team's choices but whether it can help solve the opening conundrum is something that only time will tell.

Rohit flew down to Australia in December, days before the start of the four-Test series. 

India coach Ravi Shastri on Tuesday told media that the team management will have a chat with him about how he feels before taking a call on his availability.

In Pakistan's defence of 338 in the summit clash, Amir's bowling show made the difference as he dismissed India's top three -- Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. 

Even though CSK had their worst Indian Premier League (IPL) season in 2020, the MS Dhoni-led side was seemingly on everyone's mind on Twitter as it was the most tweeted team during the course of the tournament.

The Victoria state officials have deemed that anyone who arrives in Melbourne from a 14-day quarantine in Sydney does not need to do so again.

Rohit Sharma equalled David Miller's record for fastest T20I century in men's history, as he smashed 118 off just 43 balls against Sri Lanka.

Rohit Sharma is currently locked in a hard quarantine in a two-room apartment in Sydney.

Agarwal and Shaw aggregated just 30 between them across the two innings of the first Test which India lost by eight wickets.
