1st Test: Rohit Sharma impresses and then disappoints as struggle in Tests continue

After missing the plane to England for the Test series, Rohit Sharma returned to the Indian squad for the four-match Test series against Australia because his game is suited to the conditions. Rohit walked straight into the playing XI ahead of Hanuma Vihari, who scored a fifty on his debut against England at The Oval and followed it up with another half-century in the tour game against Cricket Australia XI at the Sydney Cricket Ground last week. But as things started, the Indian team management would have been happy with the decision to play Rohit before his shortcomings came in the forefront yet again. Rohit came out and played some fluent shots including a classy cover drive that went for a flat maximum.
