Adelaide. Indian Test team captain Rohit Sharma's return after his absence in the Perth Test was not good. Australia defeated India by 10 wickets in the daynight test played at Adelaide Oval.
Rohit, batting at number six in this match, scored three runs in the first innings and six runs in the second. Questions were raised over changes in his leadership and bowling. He himself admitted that India missed many opportunities, which led to the defeat.
After the match, Rohit said, “This week was disappointing for us. We did not play as well as we needed to win. Australia performed better than us. There were many such opportunities during the game which we could not capitalize on and that is what led to the defeat.” It became the reason.”
He further said, “What we did in Perth was special. We wanted to repeat the same here too, but every Test match brings a different challenge. We knew this match would be difficult with the pink ball. But like I said, Australia played better.”
The fivematch series is now tied at 11. Rohit said that the team is ready for the Gaba Test starting from December 14. He said, “There is not much time before the next match. We have to remember the good performance we did in Perth and the performance we did last time at the Gabba. We have good memories there. Understanding the challenge of every Test match, we have to make a good start.” Will have to do.”
At the same time, Australian captain Pat Cummins led the team to a spectacular victory by taking 5 wickets in the morning session on the third day. He said, “It has been a great week for us. After the Perth Test we knew we could do better. We got our rhythm back in this match. This win is very satisfying.”
Cummins praised Mitchell Starc and said, “Starc laid the foundation of victory by taking 6 wickets on the first day. He performs like this again and again. We are lucky to have him in our team. Scott Boland also bowled brilliantly. Hope Yes, Josh Hazlewood will also return in the next match.
Cummins further said that taking a lead of 152 runs proved to be important in the 10 wicket win and Travis Head played a brilliant inning of 140 runs against India.
He said, “Head loves to bat here. When he came to bat the game could have gone either way but he changed the game. The main thing was that we got the lead. Also good to put the ball in the game. There was time. The ball was moving in the light but the big lead proved to be decisive in the end.”
