Posted on 9th Dec 2024 by rohit kumar

India suffered a crushing defeat under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Under his leadership, Team India lost the fourth consecutive match. Earlier, India defeated Australia by 295 runs in the Perth Test, but Jasprit Bumrah led the Indian team in this match. At the same time, last month the team lost 0-3 against New Zealand. Before that, Bangladesh also surprised everyone by defeating the team in their home.

 

After this defeat of India, now Rohit Sharma is facing criticism from veterans. After India\'s 10-wicket defeat on Sunday, former captain Sunil Gavaskar said that Indian cricketers should practice for two extra days. He said, now look at this series as a three-match series. Forget that it was a five-Test series. I want this Indian team to use the next few days to practice. This is very important. You cannot sit in your hotel room or anywhere because you have come here to play cricket. You do not need to practice all day. You can practice a session in the morning or afternoon, whatever time you select, but don\'t waste these days. If the Test match lasted for five days, you would have been playing a Test match here.

 

Apart from this, former Indian team head coach Ravi Shastri questioned Rohit Sharma\'s captaincy. He said that I wanted to see him at the top in batting. This is where he can be aggressive and expressive. Just looking at his body language, it seemed that he was a bit more subdued. The fact that he did not score runs, I don\'t think there were enough runs on the field. I just wanted to see him more animated. You still have to believe that you can come back in this series. You have seen with both these teams that the counter-attack happens almost immediately. This has happened in the last 10 years. You lose one match, you win the next, but you have to have faith.

 

On the second day of the Adelaide Test, Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah got a chance to bowl only four overs. During this, he also got a wicket. Aakash Chopra believes that it was because of the decision of Rohit that Australia managed to score 337 runs in the first innings. In a video uploaded on his YouTube channel, Chopra said - Jasprit Bumrah had bowled a spell of four overs and also took a wicket in it. So why did he bowl only four overs and why did he not bowl at all after that? He did not bowl in the entire session. You are 100 percent right that you missed captaincy. We saw defensive captaincy. He let the match slip out of his hands.

 

Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first. Batting first, Team India scored 180 runs. In response, Australia scored 337 runs in their first innings and took a lead of 157 runs. India\'s second innings ended at 175 runs and Rohit and company took a lead of 18 runs. Australia achieved the target of 19 runs without losing any wickets. Usman Khawaja remained unbeaten on 9 runs and McSweeney on 10. The third match of the series will be played in Brisbane from 14 December. India won the first Test by 295 runs.
