India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, said that Australia played much better than his team in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He explained that India missed key chances, and Australia made them pay for it. India lost by ten wickets in Adelaide because their batters did not perform well in both innings. Even star players like Rohit and Virat Kohli struggled, leading to India getting bowled out for low scores.
In the second innings, India could only score 175 runs. It was only thanks to strong performances from Rishabh Pant and Nitish Kumar Reddy that they managed to get that many runs. Australia only needed 19 runs to win, and they easily achieved this in just 3.2 overs.
Rohit expressed his disappointment at the post-match presentation: “It was a disappointing week for us. We didn’t play well enough to win, and Australia was better. We missed important opportunities, which cost us the game.”
This match finished quickly, with Australia wrapping it up in the first session of Day 3. It turned out to be the shortest Test match between India and Australia and the fourth shortest Test in Australia in terms of balls bowled.
Rohit Sharma missed the first Test in Perth, but he praised the team’s victory there under Jasprit Bumrah’s captaincy, winning by 295 runs. Now, with the series tied at 1-1, Rohit acknowledged that it would be tough in the upcoming matches. “What we did in Perth was really special. Every Test match is different, and we knew it would be challenging with the pink ball, but Australia played better,” he said.
The next Test will be held at the Gabba, Brisbane, from December 14 to 18. Rohit is eager for the next game and plans to focus on what went right in Perth: “We have good memories there, but we know each Test has its challenges. We want to start strong and play well
