Agency, Adelaide (AUS vs IND 2nd Test). The second Test of the series between India and Australia is being played at Adelaide Oval. With the lead in the first innings on the second day, the Kangaroos’ grip on the match has become stronger.
Meanwhile, criticism of Indian captain Rohit Sharma has also started. Rohit’s bat has been silent for a long time and did not play here either. By now questions have also started being raised on his captaincy.
Rohit made two big mistakes, it will cost the team heavily
- Regarding Rohit Sharma, it is being said that he made two big mistakes on the second day of the Melbourne Test. Firstly, giving only four overs to Jasprit Bumrah in the first session on the second day and secondly, R. Bringing Ashwin into attack late.
- Experts and fans say that Jasprit Bumrah is the only bowler who is putting the Kangaroos under pressure. In such a situation, Rohit removed him from bowling and gave him a chance to score runs freely for Australia.
- Similarly, in Ashwin’s case, it is being said that the spin bowler was supposed to bowl quickly, but Rohit waited for 14 overs. Ashwin’s previous performance against Australia has been excellent.
- Australia scored 105 runs in 26 overs in the first session of the second day. Despite losing three wickets, Australia crossed India’s first innings score of 180 runs thanks to the fast batting of Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne.

Will Jai Shah’s departure also harm Rohit?
Meanwhile, discussion has also started that Rohit may have to suffer the loss due to Jay Shah leaving the post of BCCI Secretary and becoming ICC Chief. Actually, Rohit has been considered close to Jai Shah.
Jai Shah has openly praised Rohit on many occasions. If Team India’s performance deteriorates due to absence of Jay Shah, the blame may fall on Rohit.
