Rohit Sharma gets support from 1983 World Cup winner after Adelaide loss

Former India cricketer Kirti Azad has jumped to Rohit Sharma’s defence after India’s crushing 10-wicket defeat in the second Test against Australia in Adelaide. Following India’s loss, Rohit has been subjected to widespread criticism for failing to lead his team from the front like Jasprit Bumrah did in the first Test. Further speaking ahead, Azad mentioned that the loss in the second Test was more of a surrender by India and they need to put up a strong fight back in the third Test. Several experts have raised concerns on Bumrah’s fitness ahead of the Brisbane Test and if the senior speedster misses out in the third game it will be a huge concern for the visitors.
