"When You Get Opportunity...": Rohit Sharma's Blunt Message To "Other 3" Pacers After 1st Test Loss

Jasprit Bumrah lacked support from other end as there was no reason to concede 400 plus runs on a bowling friendly track where South African speedsters showed how to go about the job, a dejected Indian skipper Rohit Sharma said on Thursday.

Batting in South Africa is never easy but a player like Shubman Gill, touted to be the next big thing in Indian cricket, is expected to deliver.

It was a forgettable outing for the Indian cricket team in their last international match of 2023. Against South Africa, India were expected to deliver a great show in what has been called the 'Final Frontier' of the team. However, what resulted on the ground can be called a listless show.

In the second innings, Virat Kohli (76) waged a lone battle, as Indians were all out for just 131. India lost the match by an innings and 32 runs.
