That captain Rohit Sharma was missing from the pictures shared by the BCCI prompted several user to ask about him.
"Where is the main man @ImRo45?" one user tweeted.
"Where is the captain?" another asked.
Vice-captain KL Rahul too was not seen in the pictures. According to reports, Rahul won't be able to recover in time from a groin injury suffered earlier this month and will miss out on the match.
Both Rohit and Rahul had been in imperious form during the first four matches of the series last year.
