"Scenario Completely Wrong": Ex-India Star On Rohit Sharma's Uncertainity For 1st Australia Test

Nearly a week remains for the start of the Border-Gavskar Trophy, but the uncertainity on Rohit Sharma's availability for the opening game still persists.

Speaking on the matter, former India player Mohammad Kaif has said that such a scenario is not ideal for the team in such a crucial series.

Australia Star, Set To Open In Perth, Takes Swipe At Jasprit Bumrah: "Bizarre Kind Of..."

Australia's left-handed opener Usman Khawaja admits Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah's unusual bowling action initially feels awkward, but with constant exposure to facing him, it becomes easier to handle.

So a lot of guys release the ball from near the popping crease. (Against Bumrah) it feels like he gets a bit further out just with his front braced leg and pushes the ball out," said Khawaja to Fox Sports on Thursday.
