IND vs AUS: It seems difficult for captain Rohit Sharma to play in the first match of the five-match Test series to be played between India and Australia. In such a situation, there is a lot of discussion about who will take over the command of the team in his place. Meanwhile, Australia's great batsman Ricky Ponting says that if Rohit Sharma is unable to play in the opening Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth, then Jasprit Bumrah should shoulder the dual responsibility of leading the team along with leading India's fast bowling attack.

Ponting, however, said that captaincy would be a difficult task for this fast bowler. There are doubts about Rohit's playing in the first Test which will be played at Optus Stadium from November 22. Recently the captain himself admitted that he is not sure about his participation.

Captaincy is the toughest job for Bumrah: Ponting.

Talking about Bumrah during the International Cricket Council's (ICC) 'Review Podcast', Ponting said, 'Yes, captaincy is probably the most difficult task for him. I think this was always a question for Pat Cummins too when he became the Australian Test captain. How much does he bowl himself? Will he bowl too much himself? Will he not bowl much? But an experienced player like Jasprit will understand the time when he needs to bowl.'

Bumrah has good experience.

If Rohit does not play in the match, the responsibility of leading the team will be on vice-captain Bumrah. Ponting said that 30-year-old Bumrah has enough experience to handle the responsibilities of captaining the team while leading the Indian fast bowling attack. He said, "There are a lot of experienced players in the Indian team for that. And I think it is very important that you use this experience. Even if you are the captain. Ask the right questions at the right time because no matter how much cricket we have played, we are not always right. "

Bumrah is an important player in every format: Ponting

Bumrah still remains India's best fast bowler in the longer format of the game and is ranked third in the ICC Test list. Ponting believes that Bumrah can recover from difficult situations. He said, "Players like Bumrah play well under extra pressure and responsibility. Anyway, he has always been leading the fast bowling attack for a long time. Be it red ball cricket, T20 or ODI. He is the main player.
