Indian captain Rohit Sharma is no guarantee to play in the first Test against Australia in Perth with coach Gautam Gambhir unable to confirm the skipper would be ready as his team departed for the blockbuster Border-Gavaskar series.

Rohit's likely absence from the first Test is because his wife Ritika Sajdeh is expecting their second child in the third week of November. A source was quoted by India Today saying, "Rohit Sharma won't travel with the team to Australia. There were suggestions he might travel but now he isn't. His wife's delivery is expected next week."

Former spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan has named Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni as the best-ever captains for Team India.
