Interesting that India's captain Rohit Sharma decided to rest himself from the final Test, they are the words of "stand-in captain" Bumrah, who added that Rohit had shown great leadership by this action. The reality is that Rohit has lost form, has he just saved himself the embarrassment of being dropped. When he missed the 1st Test due to the birth of his 2nd child, the captaincy of Bumrah played a large part in their victory.
