Captain Rohit Sharma's struggles in Test cricket persist, raising questions about his future in red-ball format. The ongoing IND vs AUS Border-Gavaskar Trophy is critical for India's ICC World Test Championship campaign, but Rohit's performance has fallen short of expectations.

After sitting out the series opener in Perth, he returned for IND vs AUS 2nd Test in Adelaide, only to be dismissed for a disappointing 3 runs.

The veteran batter has managed just one half-century in his last 11 Test innings, with a total of 136 runs, highlighting his prolonged dip in form. Speculation is growing that the ongoing IND vs AUS Border-Gavaskar Trophy might mark the end of his Test career.

With Rohit's from in Tests under serious scrutiny, attention turns to rising stars who could step into his role. Here's a closer look at three potential replacements who could shape future of India's Test lineup.

Sai Sudharsan, one of India's most promising young talents, is already viewed as a potential future star. He has played 28 first-class matches, amassing 1948 runs with 7 centuries and 5 half-centuries. His temperament and ability to perform under pressure make him a strong contender to step into Rohit Sharma's role in the Test setup.

Abhimanyu Easwaran, a stalwart in domestic cricket, has long been considered a viable option for India's Test squad. Although he is yet to make his international debut, he has been a regular member of India's extended squads, including the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Easwaran boasts a stellar first-class record with 7674 runs in 101 matches, featuring 27 centuries and 29 half-centuries.

Rinku Singh, a dynamic left-handed batter, has already made his mark for India in T20Is and ODIs but is yet to showcase his skills in Test cricket. With 3336 runs in 50 first-class matches at an impressive average of 54.68, including 7 centuries and 33 half-centuries, Rinku's consistency in the domestic circuit highlights his readiness for the longer format.
