Rohit's return to the Indian team was shrouded in colours of defeat after the pink ball continued to haunt the visitors at the Adelaide Oval. The 10-wicket defeat inflicted by Australia marked the fourth consecutive loss for Rohit as India's Test captain. After his fearlessness lifted India to victory against England earlier this year, Rohit's bat has resorted to silence ever since.

Shami's playing kit and Australian visa are believed to be ready and he was supposed to fly at the earliest but after Rohit's post-match comments, fresh doubts have been cast whether he will go to Australia. Asked if there is a chance for Shami's comeback, the Indian skipper was cautious in his answer. "No, no, definitely. That door is very much open. But we are just monitoring him because while playing Syed Mushtaq Ali T20, he again got some swelling in his knee, which obviously hampers his preparation to come and play a Test match. We want to be very, very careful," the India skipper said after the game.

"When Such A Big Player...": Harbhajan Singh's Brutal Verdict On Rohit Sharma's Form

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has raised the issue of captain Rohit Sharma's batting form and feels that it might affect his leadership skills in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a 10-wicket crushing defeat to Australia in the second Test on Sunday. Rohit, who missed the first Test of the series in Perth due to the birth of his second child, only scored 3 and 6 in the pink-ball Test at Adelaide Oval. The 37-year-old's form in Test cricket has been a topic of debate since India's historic 0-3 home loss to New Zealand last month. In that series too, Rohit was not anywhere near to his peak performance in the red-ball format as he only accumulated 91 runs across six innings including 52 in the second innings of Bengaluru Test.
