Why will Rohit Sharma not play the first ODI against Australia
Rohit Sharma will miss the first game of the three-match ODI series against Australia, which starts at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday, March 17. The 35-year-old is rumored to be attending the wedding of his brother-in-law.
In a statement, the BCCI wrote:
“Rohit Sharma will be unavailable for the first ODI due to family commitments. Hardik Pandya will lead the side in the first ODI.”

Rohit will return for the remaining two ODIs at Vizag (March 19) and Chennai (March 22), respectively. After scoring a century in the recently concluded ODI series against New Zealand, he will look to carry his sublime form into the three-match series.
