AUS vs IND, 3rd Test: Rohit Sharma says India came out with intent to bowl out Australia in second innings

Caught up with the aftermath of R. Ashwin’s retirement, it took a while for Indian skipper Rohit Sharma to reflect on the third Test here at the Gabba on Wednesday. When we came to bowl in the second innings, we came with the intensity of seeing them all out for 60, 70 runs.” The Mumbaikar did not flinch while holding a mirror to himself and said, “I have not batted well and there is no harm in accepting that. Sometimes, these numbers can tell you that it’s been a while since I got big runs, but for a person like me, it’s about how I feel in my mind and what kind of preparation I am doing.” Lauding Ravindra Jadeja, Rohit said, “He was disappointed with his bowling but that can happen. We needed somebody to stitch a partnership and take the game as deep as possible, Jadeja was there to do that.” Asked about the mini-celebrations in the Indian dressing room after Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep helped avoid the follow-on, Rohit replied, “It was a little victory for us.
