Rohit Sharma Is Back With Team India: India captain Rohit Sharma was spotted training in Perth. The India vs Australia 1st Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is coming to an exciting end. Rohit wasn’t available for the first Test due to his wife’s pregnancy. India’s prolific opener’s return will be an additional perk to the already-firing Indian side in Australia.
India are battling against the home side under the leadership of stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah and are in a strong position. In the first innings, Indian batters got rattled and got out for 150. But Australian batters too couldn’t stand a chance in front of Indian bowlers, especially Jasprit Bumrah, who had a four for. Kangaroos’ first innings ended in 104 runs.
In the second innings, Indian batters pulled off a world-class performance. With the help of Yashasvi Jaiswal (161/297), Virat Kohli (100/143), and KL Rahul (77/176), the home side cruised into a gigantic total of 487 runs.
In return, Australia, as it happened in the first innings, got mauled by the Indian pacers and lost 4 wickets while adding 17 runs. But Travis Head, who is nearing a century and is at 76 runs while this article is written, is slowly lifting the Kangaroos’ score up. The home side are now at 142 runs, losing 5 wickets.
With a day and a half remaining and Australia having a mountain of 390 runs to climb down, India will probably pocket the match if no wonders happen.
