Team India short changed by Rohit, Kohli and senior bowlers in Adelaide humbling

Firstpost  

Skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli failed to fire twice in as many days after Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj’s inability to make the brand new pink ball talk on Day 1 had a major effect on the fate of the second Test in Adelaide, which ended in a decisive Australian victory. Captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and the rest of the Indian team leave the playing area at the Adelaide Oval after their 10-wicket defeat at the hands of Australia in the second Test. Here, they didn’t make Nathan McSweeney, Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne play enough straightaway, and even though the two quicks made amends with four-wicket hauls each, lack of support from the raw Harshit Rana meant the pressure on the batters eased when they were both off the attack, unlike in Australia’s case where Boland, coming in for the injured Josh Hazlewood, held his own and even out-bowled Cummins at various stages in the first innings. While Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj collected four wickets each, Harshit Rana went wicketless for 86 runs during Australia’s first innings in the Adelaide Test.
