Border-Gavaskar Trophy: We didn’t bat well enough, says Rohit Sharma on Adelaide Test

The Hindu  

Holding a mirror to himself and the team, Rohit Sharma was a picture of introspection in the press-conference at the Adelaide Oval on Sunday evening. It is just that we didn’t play well enough and Australia played better cricket than us. We probably were 30 to 40 runs short in the first innings and there were opportunities when Australia was batting but we failed to take those chances.” Rohit also played down the incident between Mohammed Siraj and Travis Head on Saturday, in which the former gave a send-off and words were exchanged: “I was standing at slip and I don’t know what was exchanged. There is a thin line and as captain, it is also my responsibility to make sure that we don’t cross that line.” Looking ahead, Rohit stressed that his team can spring back: “There are a lot of individuals in that dressing room, who have played a lot of cricket, won a lot of games, and have come back from difficult situations. Rohit on Mohammed Shami’ return Rohit Sharma stressed that the BCCI’s medical team is keeping an eye on Mohammed Shami while not revealing any specific time-frame for the speedster’s return to the Indian squad: “I know he has played the Mushtaq Ali tournament but I believe there is a swelling.
