Rohit Sharma: Who did captain Rohit blame for the crushing defeat, immediately told the whole truth after the match
Indian test captain Rohit Sharma
Indian Captain Rohit Sharma: The Indian team had to face a crushing defeat by 184 runs in the fourth test match against Australia. Indian batsmen flopped badly in the second innings and except Yashasvi Jaiswal (84 runs), no batsman was able to bat steadily. For this reason Team India was all out for 155 runs. After losing the match, the Indian team is now in danger of reaching the final of the World Test Championship. At the same time, it has lagged behind by 1-2 in the series. The fifth and last Test match of the series will be played in Sydney from January 3.
Last wicket partnership took away the match: Rohit Sharma
The Australian team was struggling in its second innings at 90 runs for six wickets and at that time its total lead had not yet reached 200. However, due to the struggle of the tail batsmen, the team was successful in giving India the target of 340 runs. Indian captain Rohit Sharma admitted that his team could not take advantage of the favorable conditions. He said that we had taken six wickets of Australia till 90 runs. We knew that things would not be easy for us but we wanted to show spirit even in difficult circumstances. However we failed to do so. After going to my room, I was wondering what else we could have done as a team. Whatever chances we created we wasted. He fought hard. Especially their partnership for the last wicket, perhaps that partnership took the match away from us. For Australia, Scott Boland and Nathan Lyon made a partnership of 61 runs for the last wicket. Which overshadowed Team India.
Rohit Sharma said that we knew that scoring 340 runs would not be easy. We tried to set a platform and save wickets for the last two sessions, but they also bowled well. We wanted to reach the goal, but we could not create a platform for it. Rohit Sharma said that it is mentally disturbing when you are not able to do what you have come to do. This is quite disappointing. There are ways to win matches and we failed to find ways to win matches here. We wanted to fight till the end but unfortunately we could not do so.
Heart opened in praise of Nitish Reddy
Indian captain Rohit Sharma has praised Nitish Reddy, who scored a century in the match. He said that he has come here for the first time. These conditions can be really tough but he has shown great spirit and solid technique. He has everything it takes to succeed at this level. Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was also praised. Rohit said that absolutely brilliant, we have been watching him for many years. He enters the field and completes his work. He doesn’t want to focus on statistics.
