"We Were A Little Unlucky That...": Rohit Sharma's Honest View After Warm-Up Match Win

India skipper Rohit Sharma is pleased with their curtailed warm-up game time after defeating the Australian Prime Minister's XI by six wickets at the Manuka Oval on Sunday. The opening day of the two-day pink-ball match was washed out due to rain and the match was reduced to 46-over per side with more rain on the second day of the encounter. With Shubman Gill scoring a half-century after missing the first Test due to a left thumb injury and Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul retaining their spot as openers despite Rohit's return, India ticked all boxes before heading to the pink-ball Test in Adelaide, starting on December 6.
