Mike Hussey did not like Rohit’s reaction
Former Australian player Mike Hussey also did not like Rohit Sharma’s shouting at Jaiswal. Speaking on Fox Cricket, Mike Hussey said, “To be honest, I did not like this reaction from the Indian captain. I understand that he is emotional and he wants wickets, but you need to remain calm and support. He (Yashasvi) might already be feeling bad after dropping the catch.”
Rohit Sharma also flopped in Melbourne test
Rohit Sharma, like the rest of the Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, appeared to be a flop in the Melbourne Test too. In the first innings of the match, Rohit Sharma was out after scoring only 03 runs. After this, it was expected that the hitman would play a good innings while chasing the runs, but it could not happen. In the second innings, the Indian captain returned to the pavilion after scoring only 09 runs.
