Strange statement by Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma said after the match, 'It hurts more when you lose a match. A batsman may or may not perform well. We had a chance to win the match. We could have drawn the match. We tried. Those who scored runs could have played longer but they are new, they will learn.' Rohit Sharma said on the defeat, 'It is very disappointing to lose. We wanted to fight till the end but it could not happen. Not just the last session, we will have to look at the entire match to see where the mistake happened. We had a chance throughout the Test match. We let Australia come into the match. At one time Australia was down to 90 runs for 6 wickets.'
Is it the new player's fault?
It seems that Rohit Sharma had made this statement indirectly on Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant. Both these players remained at the crease for a long time. But after the tea break, first Pant was out and then Yashasvi Jaiswal was also caught out in a controversial manner. The question is how can Rohit Sharma blame these players when he himself is not able to walk.
Shameful performance by Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma has proved to be a big flop in this Test series. He has been able to score only 31 runs in 3 Test matches. His batting average is 6.20. Rohit Sharma's footwork looks so bad that it seems as if he has forgotten how to play shots. In the fourth Test, he returned to the opening position and failed there too. KL Rahul also suffered due to this decision of his, who came at number 3 instead of opening and he failed in both the innings.
