Cricket experts criticised India’s captain Rohit Sharma following their second Test defeat in Adelaide, suggesting he lacked the necessary assertiveness to defeat Australia on their home ground.
Australia equalised the series 1-1 with a comprehensive 10-wicket victory within three days of the pink ball match on Sunday.
The 37-year-old Rohit, who missed India’s initial victory in Perth whilst awaiting his second child’s birth, returned to lead but performed poorly, scoring only three and six runs.
He opted to bat at number six instead of his usual opening position, making way for KL Rahul, who had performed admirably in the Perth Test victory.
