Rohit Sharma’s Captaincy Under Scrutiny After Adelaide Test Defeat
Critics really fired at the cricketing leadership of India after they were beaten 10 wickets by Australia in the pink-ball Test at Adelaide. Former cricketer Aakash Chopra has gone to raise some pertinent questions over Rohit Sharma‘s captaincy. The match opened up weakly, especially concerning the management of players, especially bowlers such as Jasprit Bumrah, whose limited overs raised eyebrows among analysts.
Chopra directly debated with Rohit about the Kiwi team, noting the main mistakes, such as not using the bowler to consistently target Travis Head. The ex-player backed the move by saying that it was weird for Bumrah, who had taken a wicket in a four-over spell, to be withdrawn from the attack while the match moved into Australia’s domination.
The defeat will be a big set back to the Indian cricket team especially now that Rohit Sharma is the captain of the team. More to the point, this is the first time in the recent past where an Indian captain has been placed in a position where he suffers three consecutive home match losses, a position that puts more pressure on the team leadership and planning.
