India need to put on 'team face' in Sydney to pull themselves out of mess of their own making

Firstpost  

So much hinges on the outcome of the Sydney Test for skipper Rohit Sharma, for coach Gautam Gambhir, under mounting scrutiny after a string of underwhelming performances, and for Virat Kohli, whose century in Perth is increasingly beginning to look like an aberration. The expectation when the Indian coach turned up for Thursday afternoon’s press conference – his first interaction with the media since the team landed in Australia more than seven weeks ago – was that he would put out fires that have been raging since the so-called ‘leak’ of an alleged dressing down from him to the team after the MCG defeat on Monday. Rohit wasn’t even to be seen when Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel were facing bowlers of all ilk apart from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. He has done enough for Indian cricket, and i am sure he has the ability to turn this around.This is the last and a crucial test match of the series, and expirence should come… — Irfan Pathan January 2, 2025 In so many ways, assuming Rohit plays – and truth to tell, there really shouldn’t have been any doubts on that front – so much hinges on the outcome for the skipper himself, for Gambhir, under mounting scrutiny after a string of underwhelming performances, and for Virat Kohli, the former skipper whose second-innings century in Perth is increasingly beginning to look like an aberration.
