India National Cricket Team skipper Rohit Sharma has been quite vocal on the field during the ongoing fourth Test against the Australia National Cricket Team. The Boxing Day match between the teams is taking place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne.
Rohit Sharma and the Indian National Cricket Team have been made to work very hard with the ball in the ongoing match. The pitch at the MCG hasn’t been of great help to the bowlers, and this has also seen Australia National Cricket Team batters cashing on that as they have put the team in a solid position.
Rohit Sharma has been decent with his leadership in the game, nothing works in his favor
Rohit has been decent with his leadership in the game, but so far, not much has gone in India’s way. The India National Cricket Team skipper has also been very vocal as he is actively involved in the game and has been lifting his players along with scolding them.
This was evident when Ravindra Jadeja was bowling to Steve Smith after the batter came into the bat following the wicket of Usman Khawaja. The batter defended the ball, which went to Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was fielding at the square leg.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, instead of stopping the ball, was seen hopping in an attempt to save himself, and this was noticed by captain Rohit Sharma, who was in slips. He was heard saying to the opening batter: “Ay Jaisu, Gully cricket khel raha hai kya?” This also left Rishabh Pant in splits behind the stumps.
If this was not enough, Rohit Sharma doubled up his thrashing to Yashasvi Jaiswal. The young batter was standing there and wasn’t on his knees, and this made the captain of the team scold him.
Rohit Sharma was heard saying: “Niche baith ke reh. Jab tak ball khelega nahi, uthne ka nahi. Niche baith ke reh.”
Niche baith ke reh, Jab tak ball khelega nahi, uthne ka nahi, Niche baith ke reh – Rohit Sharma to Yashasvi Jaiswal

India National Cricket Team have been trying different things in the game as pitch offers very less help
India National Cricket Team have been trying different things in the game, but so far, nothing seemed to be working in their favour. They were put under pressure right from the start as Australia National Cricket Team batter debutant Sam Konstas took the game away right from the start.
Sam Konstas was at his brutal best as he took the attack to the Indian bowlers with the new ball and scored runs in a hurry. He, in particular, targeted Jasprit Bumrah, which put the India National Cricket Team on the backfoot as the hosts raced away to the 100-run mark in the first session.
Sam Konstas slammed a magnificent half-century and his brutal innings also allowed Usman Khawaja to settle in. The senior batter also hit a valuable half-century as the batter was back in the hut after scoring 57 runs. Marnus Labuschagne also has hit a half-century and would be looking to convert it into a big one.
