Mohammed Shami's much-anticipated return to Test arena could be delayed further after India captain Rohit Sharma informed that the senior speedster had once again developed "some swelling" in his knees after playing seven Mushtaq Ali Trophy games.

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.

"Can't Survive On Past...": Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Receive Brutal 'Reputation' Warning

Following India's loss to Australia in the second Test, former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan opened up on inconsistent form of star batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, saying that they will have to perform well consistently as living on past laurels will make things difficult for them as they age but expectations stay the same. He also opined that the 'Hitman' batting down the order at number six was a wrong move. After the birth of his second child which caused him to miss the first Test at Perth, which was a memorable win by 295 runs, Rohit's return to cricket was far from spectacular, as not only he succumbed to double digits during struggled-filled outings down the order at number six, the team also succumbed to a 10-wicket loss in the pink-ball Test within just three days at Adelaide. After a century at Perth, Virat struggled with outside off-stump deliveries yet again, scoring just seven and 11 runs in the match.
