On Thursday, January 2, India head coach Gautam Gambhir refused to confirm whether under-fire captain Rohit Sharma would feature in the playing XI for the Sydney Test. Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Nitish Kumar Reddy were seen practising slip catching while Rishabh Pant was out with the wicketkeeping gloves, doing his drills on Thursday morning.
