“His thumb is not looking good. We got a scan done and it showed a fracture. It will take him at least two weeks to recover. He is ruled out for the first Test match. As there is a big gap between the first and second Test, we are hoping he will recover in time for the second Test,” a source had told Indian Express earlier.

With Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill set to miss IND vs AUS 1st Test, captain Jasprit Bumrah currently faces a selection headache. While reports claimed that Devdutt Padikkal and Dhruv Jurel are all but confirmed to be a part of India’s playing XI, it remains to be seen what combination India will opt for. Rohit Sharma will miss the 1st Test due to personal reasons and has informed the BCCI that he intends to spend more time with his family. He was recently blessed with his second child.
