IND vs AUS Boxing Day Test: Rohit Sharma Fires Back With A No-Nonsense Response To Question On India’s Batting Order

Melbourne: Ahead of the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne, India captain Rohit Sharma has backed star batter Virat Kohli to come back strong in the remainder of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia. He was also struggling in the three-Test home series against New Zealand, which India lost 3-0 to dent their World Test Championship final hopes. With the ongoing five-match series tied at 1-1, India have a monumental task to win the last two Tests to play the championship final at Lord's next year. Rohit faced an injury scare on Sunday when the 37-year-old batter was struck on his left knee by a delivery from throwdown specialist Daya during India’s second practice session at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
