Rohit Sharma's Fiery Reaction To Yashasvi Jaiswal's Dropped Catches Draws Brutal Criticism

India skipper Rohit Sharma has come under fire from broadcasters after showcasing an angry body language towards his young teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal, who dropped three catches on day four of the Boxing Day Test Jaiswal, generally a great third slip and gully catcher, had earlier dropped Usman Khawaja on two at leg gully. In the second session, after Jasprit Bumrah picked three quick wickets, Marnus Labuschagne nicked to Jaiswal in the slips on 46 off Akash Deep. But Jaiswal dropped a relatively simple catch, marking it his second shelled chance of the day. Rohit reacted furiously to Jaiswal's drop of Labuschagne by immediately throwing his arms in frustration and then blankly towards the youngster.

"Don't Think India Will Be Batting For A Draw": Ex-Australia Star On Boxing Day Test

As the stage is set for an epic climax to the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia, former Aussie all-rounder Steve O'Keefe opined that India will not be looking for a draw and try hard to win the crucial fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on the final day of the encounter. India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and fellow pacer Mohammed Siraj dismantled the Aussies top and middle order, but the hosts fought hard on the back of Marnus Labuschagne (70) and Pat Cummins (41).

"Want To Make Them...": Nitish Reddy's Big Message To Critics After Historic Century

Nitish Reddy wanted to confute his critics and the naysayers who doubted his ability to excel in Test format, and the gritty century at the iconic MCG was his way of conveying that he belongs to highest level of cricket. A few former players, including a former chairman of selectors, were skceptical about Reddy's elevation as a Test player but with 293 runs in six innings and a batting average of 58-plus, he has answered them back in a befitting manner. Reddy's 114 formed the cornerstone of India's first innings score of 369 and attracted a lot of attention on the young batter.

Jasprit Bumrah Heartbroken, Fans Stunned As No-Ball Provides Australia Lifeline In 4th Test - Watch

Indian cricket team fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was left distraught as a no-ball provided Australia with a major lifeline on Day 4 of the fourth Test match in Melbourne on Sunday. The incident happened on the final over of the day when Bumrah dismissed Nathan Lyon but was left disappointed as the umpire signalled a no-ball. With India needing one wicket to bowl out Australia, Lyon edged the delivery from Bumrah straight to KL Rahul in the slips. However, the joy was short-lived as the no-ball denied him a five-wicket haul and his disappointing reaction said it all.

Rohit Sharma Loses It On Field As Yashasvi Jaiswal Drops Three Catches In One Innings

'Catches win matches', is the saying but young opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal became the epitome of missed chances, dropping as many as three chances on Day 4 of the 4th Test against Austrlaia in Melbourne on Sunday. India captain Rohit Sharma was quite accomodating when the first chance went down but was in no mood to let Jaiswal go easily when he dropped the following two catches.

Jasprit Bumrah left the hosts in a daze with a dream spell but the courageous Australian lower order steered the side to a commanding 333-run lead on Sunday, setting up the Boxing Day Test for an intriguing last-day finish. Australia finished the fourth day at 228 for nine, leaving India skipper Rohit Sharma a bit irritated as the home team was in a spot at 156 for 8 at one stage. Australia's number 8, 10 and 11 batters saw off nearly 35 overs and it could prove decisive if India doesn't bat exceedingly well on a track which has remained true in all four days.
