Indian skipper Rohit Sharma wilted under the traditional Australian tactic of mentally breaking down the opposition captains during the just-concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy, said former spinner Kerry O'Keeffe. India lost the five-match series 1-3 and Rohit made just 31 runs from three Tests at an average of 6.20. “They couldn't bring down (Jasprit) Bumrah. He was too good.

World Cup-winning former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has said that being whitewashed at home by New Zealand was a bigger low for Team India than the loss of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy but refused to join the chorus of criticism against embattled veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

This was followed by a 1-3 drubbing by Australia in the away edition of the Border Gavaskar series.

Virat Kohli's performance Down Under in the recently concluded Border Gavaskar Trophy left more questions than answers. He scored just 190 runs in nine innings at an average of 23.75. He began with a ton but his performance with the bat went downhill from there on. His tendency to poke at delivery moving outside the off-stump led to his downfall again and again.
