Cheteshwar Pujara Namedrops Virat Kohli In Brutal Verdict On India's Batting In 2nd Australia Test

Cheteshwar Pujara believes that India should have batted much better on Day 1 of the pink-ball Test against Australia in Adelaide after the Rohit Sharma-led side was bundled out for just 180. Shubman Gill and KL Rahul put up a 69-run stand but the visitors kept losing wickets at regular intervals. During his analysis, Pujara namedropped star batter Virat Kohli who failed to impress as he was dismissed for just 7. Pujara said that India should have scored 250 to 275 on the Adelaide pitch and added that although the Indian bowlers hit the right length, it did not work out well for them.
