Former Indian cricket team’s head coach, Ravi Shastri takes a dig at Rohi Sharma’s captaincy

New Delhi: India Team skipper, Rohit Sharma who is currently leading the team down under has come under a lot of scrutiny from a lot of criticism from various corners of the Indian sporting world.

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri, however, has lashed out at Rohit Sharma for his defensive field placements, and for allowing Head and Smith to dictate proceedings. Furthermore, Shastri was heard quoting ‘worst set-ups’ regarding Rohit’s decisions for his field set-up.

Rohit’s failure as a captain was accentuated by the poor display of bowling by the Indian batters. The fact was given due cognizance by Morne Morkel who is currently serving his tenure as the bowling coach of the team remarked:

First of all, we can say he’s (Head) in pretty good form. But I think for us with the ball, if you look at it from over 50 to 80, even in the last game, is where we fall short, leaking (runs) a little bit. So, that’s one area I think we need to get better at…

Travis Head turns out to be a nuisance once again!

On the other hand, the main cause of dismay for team India, Travis Head once again butchered the Indian bowlers courtesy of terrible line and length in bowling.

Travis Head continued to bully India by smashing a second successive hundred while Steve Smith clawed his way back to form with his 33rd century as Australia reached an imposing 405 for 7 at the end of the second day of the third Test here Sunday.

Head, who cracked 140 in the previous Test, hit a brilliant 152 off just 160 balls and added 241 runs for the fourth wicket with Smith (101 off 190 balls), who scored one of his more laboured hundreds in the traditional format. For India, Jasprit Bumrah (5/72) stood out from the pack with his 12th five-wicket haul while Akash Deep (0/78) despite bowling well was distinctly unlucky.
