India is playing without Rohit Sharma and I am pretty sure if Rohit were a part of the team then he would have not scored too.
Rohit Sharma is not a part of the team, which is such a bad thing. India removed their captain from the team and in his place, Bumrah took the captaincy. By the way, if somehow India wins this game, I am sure in the next series Rohit Sharma will be a part of squad but not the captain. Who knows, he might be rested if his performance doesn't improve.
It's not bad thing; Rohit was a walking wicket, it's better that he himself stepped down.
Four months ago, everyone was saying Rohit Sharma was one of the best players and at the same time, 6 months ago this captain gave the trophy (T20 World Cup) to India after 11 years. Now the captain is not in the team.
Whatever is said is pertaining to that particular time; he was performing then, isn't now.
Pant was really entertaining today, may be IPL bidders gave him 27 CR judging him from his test career. Because, no way anyone would pay such amount if they saw him in T20.
Yeh that true he played really good and the more surprising things were when Australian bowlers were in true colors and continuously departing thier main player at that critical time he played ordinary innings of half century with 180+ strike rate like playing t20. Anyway indian team took 140+ lead which I believe should be extend to Atleast 300 to lower Australian chances to victory also bumrah look tired or may be injured as he leave stadium while game so they has to be more careful if supposed bumrah got out too
300 looks impossible as Jadeja-Sundar is last batting pair on crease, 200-220 should be good imo.
