Jasprit Bumrah has called the move by Rohit to "opt to rest" as one of the positives in the Indian team. Bumrah came out for the toss at the last and final Test match in Sydney in place of Rohit, who has had a torrid time with the bat averaging in single digits through the ongoing series.

Rohit Sharma may sit out the fifth Test, possibly ending his career in the longest format, as India faces pivotal match against Australia.
