Rohit Sharma opening IND vs AUS 4th Test: India vs Australia fourth test is being played in Melbourne. Australia has scored a huge score of 474 runs in the first innings, so the batting combination of Team India has become a matter of concern because Shubman Gill was dropped from the playing eleven. Due to Gill’s drop, captain Rohit Sharma opened in the Boxing Day Test. Rohit may have changed his batting order, but his getting out after scoring just 3 runs is not a good sign for the Indian team.
Will this mistake of Captain Rohit prove costly?
The decisions of the management of the Indian team started being criticized only when Shubman Gill was dropped for bowling 2 spin bowling. This led to a change in the batting combination of Team India. Till now KL Rahul was opening with Yashasvi Jaiswal and is also in very good form. Till now, Rahul had scored 235 runs in 5 innings of the current series at an average of 47. Till the third Test was played, he was also the highest run-scorer for the Indian team.
But Rohit decided to open with Jaiswal to regain his form. Due to this, Rahul had to bat at number three. Now the difference of this change is that neither Rohit nor Rahul have been able to perform well. While Rahul had a good touch in the opening, due to the team management’s decision to change the opening pair, that touch appeared to be lost somewhere. On one hand, Rohit was out after scoring only 3 runs, on the other hand, Rahul was clean bowled by Pat Cummins after scoring 24 runs.
Such a garbled thinking and atrocious selections since Rohit Sharma came back.
In the current conditions, Gill is better than any of Rohit, Kohli and KL. These three together have lost India countless number of ICC tournaments.#INDvsAUS— Icyrock (@icyrock) December 27, 2024
