India National Cricket Team skipper Rohit Sharma was left fuming at young batter Yashasvi Jaiswal ahead of the team’s departure to Brisbane ahead of the third Test. The match between the two teams will be taking place from 14th December at the Gabba in Brisbane.
India team, after having a couple of sessions in Adelaide, departed for Brisbane for the third Test. However, the team bus departed without opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal. As per the reports in Ray Sportz, it is learned that the team had a flight scheduled for 10:05 am local time.
Rohit Sharma orders the team bus to leave for the airport without Yashasvi Jaiswal
The Indian team bus was all set to leave the hotel at around 8:30 am, as per local time. The Rohit Sharma-led side started boarding the bus, but the opening batter, Yashasvi Jaiswal, wasn’t anywhere near the scenes, and the entire team had to wait for the left-hander.
The reports claimed that after waiting for a few minutes near the gate of the bus, captain Rohit Sharma stepped down and had a word with the team manager and the liaison officer. The skipper was unhappy with the batter not coming, and after conversations with the manager, he was back on the bus.

Immediately after that, the Indian team bus left for the airport at around 8:50 am without Yashasvi Jaiswal. As the team bus left, the young batter came out of the hotel around five minutes late. However, he then boarded a car along with the team’s security officer and started his journey towards the airport.
The India National Cricket Team have now reached Brisbane for the third Test. They will be entering into the game on the back of the 10-wicket thrashing against the Australia National Cricket Team at the Adelaide Oval. The series is currently levelled at 1-1 with visitors winning the game at Perth.
The pressure will be on skipper Rohit Sharma going into the Brisbane Test
The pressure will be on skipper Rohit Sharma going into the match. He has come under scrutiny following his poor outing with the bat. He pushed himself down the order to allow KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings, but he struggled in the middle order.
Rohit Sharma bagged failures in both innings in Adelaide, but there have been various reports that claimed that he will continue batting in the middle order in Brisbane. He will have a massive opportunity to silence his critics and reply to everything with his bat.
India would be keen to win the third game, having lost the second Test badly. Also with crucial World Test Championship points around the corner, a loss would be hurting for them as it will almost eliminate them from the tournament.
