IND vs AUS: Rohit Sharma の間にパーティーはありません!インド人船長にとって恐ろしい試練の年が続く

The much-anticipated return for Rohit Sharma at the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) didn’t bow well. After missing the first Test due to the birth of his newly born baby boy, Rohit joined the Indian team midway through the first Test in Perth. He trained hard and even played the practice game against the Prime Minister’s XI in Canberra. The Indian skipper sacrificed his opening spot to continue with the successful KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal. However, Rohit’s middle-order return failed as he got out for just 3 runs in the 2nd BGT Test in Adelaide.

Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bat first on a greenish Adelaide track. Mitchell Starc had the Indian batters on the floor, taking a wicket off the very first ball. But Shubhman Gill looked good in the middle before his dismissal led Rohit to the crease. He batted at number six, a position where he started his Test career, and did superbly as well. Despite his failure, he still averages above 52 at number six.

Rohit tried to negotiate the early trouble but was undone by an in-swinger by Scott Boland. Like all Indian batters, Rohit played at the frontfoot but failed to hit the ball and got trapped plumb in front. While he discussed about taking DRS with Pant but sense prevailed, and he walked straight back to the Indian dressing room.
