A lot of questions have been raised at Indian captain Rohit Sharma after he showed a lacking performance in Test cricket. India’s worries in the present Border-Gavaskar Trophy have been made worse by the poor performance on the captain.
In the absence of Rohit Sharma for the Test in Perth, Jasprit Bumrah had taken the lead of the team, and led them to a spectacular 295-run win. Despite taking the charge in Adelaide, Rohit Sharma was unable to guide the team to victory and had to face a loss of 10 wickets.
Rohit has been on the receiving side of criticism since the loss in Adelaide, and fans are even talking about Bumrah taking over the captaincy. Daryll Cullinan, a former South African player went guns-blazing towards Rohit Sharma for his dismal batting performance.
“Look at Rohit, then at Virat. Notice the difference in their physical condition. Rohit is overweight, and not a long-term cricketer anymore. Rohit is not in a good physical condition to play in a four or a five-match Test series,” Daryll Cullinan told InsideSport.
The team has reached Brisbane on December 11 and were seen working hard in their first net session. All of the players are working hard to overcome the reasons that have led to their below-par batting performance in the first two matches.
