"Stop This Nonsense": Controversial Ex-India Coach's Brutal Take On Jasprit Bumrah's 'Illegal Action' Allegations

Former India head coach Greg Chappell believes that the Australian top order is a major concern for the hosts after a 295-run loss to India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series opener in Perth. India's win was biggest by the margin of runs against Australia in Australia. The previous biggest win dates back to 1977, when India won their first Test Down Under in Melbourne. It was also their 10th Test victory in the country. After opting to bat first, India were bowled out for just 150 but Jasprit Bumrah, standing in as captain in full-time skipper Rohit Sharma's absence, swung the momentum back in India's favour with a brilliant five-wicket haul that restricted Australia to just 104. Overall, he snapped eight wickets across the match.

Sunil Gavaskar Dismisses 'Bakwas' With Another Blunt Captaincy Verdict On Jasprit Bumrah

The chatter around Jasprit Bumrah's captaincy credentials witnessed a sharp spike as the Indian team decimated Australia in the first of the 5-match series in Perth. Bumrah, leading the side in the absence of full-time captain Rohit Sharma, didn't just produce a masterstroke as a bowler but also guided his troops to extract the desired results. India great Sunil Gavaskar, who had advocated Bumrah's name for the entire series' captaincy, spoke in favour of the pacer's leadership skills again after the conclusion of the first Test.

2nd Test: Will Rohit Sharma Agree To Bat In Middle-Order And Let KL Rahul Open?

Returning skipper Rohit Sharma will walk into the Indian playing XI for the second Test in Adelaide in place of young Devdutt Padikkal but in-form KL Rahul's batting slot in the pink ball warm-up game in Canberra will certainly keep everyone interested. It will all depend on whether the injured Shubman Gill gets fit in time for the match, failing which Rahul might be slotted at number three in place of Padikkal. But there is a school of thought that believes the team might be served better if Rohit bats in the middle order, preferably at number five or six.

It isn't yet known exactly when the India coach would return but he is likely to reunite the team before the second Test in Adelaide.

Despite putting in a solid show with the bat for India in the Perth Test, KL Rahul seems to be fearing for his place in the team for the second match of the series in Adelaide. Rahul was the only Indian batter to register decent scores in both innings - scoring 26 and 77 - but he isn't sure if he will be in India's XI for the second match of the series. The reason behind this fear is the return of skipper Rohit Sharma.
