Rohit Sharma Labelled "Lazy", Faces Heat Over Another Flop Show In Australia

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting was critical of the tame shot India captain Rohit Sharma played that led to his dismissal off Pat Cummins on day two of the Boxing Day Test, saying one has to be switched on and make good decisions when facing a formidable bowling line-up. Rohit's move of opening the batting for the first time in the series backfired when he played a one-leg half-hearted pull off Cummins, and the top-edge was easily caught by mid-on to be out for three in the second over. That dismissal took Rohit's tally of runs to 22 in this series, thus extending his woeful form in Tests this year.

India reached 164 for five at stumps on day two, trailing Australia by 310 runs in the fourth Test here on Friday. Skipper Rohit Sharma (3) fell cheaply once again before Yashasvi Jaiswal (82) and Virat Kohli (36) steadied the ship with a 102-run stand. Jaiswal was run out following a mix up with Kohli, who was caught behind in the following over. Australia were all out after lunch with Steve Smith scoring his 34th Test hundred. Resuming at their overnight score of 311 for six, the hosts added 163 runs on the day to post a commanding total.

However, a horrible mix-up between Jaiswal and Kohli cost the former his wicket. While there remain different theories over who should be blamed for Jaiswal's dismissal, former India cricketers Sanjay Manjrekar and Irfan Pathan got engaged in a heated argument in the post-day show for the broadcaster Star Sports.

India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli were involved in a terrible mix-up on Day 2 of the fourth Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday. The pair added 102 runs for the third wicket before the incident led to Jaiswal's dismissal. It all unfolded on the final ball of the 41st over, which was bowled by Scott Boland.

"Started At The Top...": Ex-Australia Star Bluntly Blames Rohit Sharma For India's Struggles

Former Australian cricketer Simon Katich slammed Indian skipper Rohit Sharma for his poor captaincy on day two of the fourth Test against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), saying that India is being "bullied" by the Aussies. If the first day of the Test match saw Australia make 300-plus runs, the Indian bowlers still showed a fight by taking six wickets, with four of them coming in the last session. The day two first session was extremely poor for the Indian team as Steve Smith and skipper Pat Cummins were all over Indian bowlers, even Jasprit Bumrah, as they scored at a run rate above five. While Smith reached a brilliant 34th Test ton, a useful 49 from Cummins took Australia to 454/7 at the end of session one.

Having entered the series under scrutiny for poor form and being century-less for over an year, Smith got some respite with a century at the third Test in Brisbane, which saw him grind and play some scratchy cricket on his way to the century.
