Border Gavaskar Trophy: Australia Can Bounce Back, Not Ruling Them Out: Rohit Sharma

Date:

Nagpur: After registering a dominant win in the first Border Gavaskar Trophy match by an inning and 132 runs, skipper Rohit Sharma is not taking Aussies lightly and he expects them to come hard at them in the next Test match.

Speaking about the opposition, Rohit Sharma added that “Australia is always a good team. A lot of guys who played in that series are not there for Australia also. Australia love playing Test cricket and they take pride in representing the country and so we are quite aware of them bouncing back and what they can do as a team as well,”.

India took a lead of 223 runs in the first innings after being bowled out for 400 but the visitors buckled under pressure and were bundled out for 91 runs succumbing to Indian spinners Ravichandran Ashwin who picked eight wickets in match three in the first innings and five in second. Ravindra Jadeja picked five in the first and two in the second.

Talking about the game, he said, “We were prepared for hard days of bowling, spent session after session. I did not expect they would be bowled out in one session. As you saw, the pitch became slower and slower and there was no bounce on the pitch, so it was a bit of a surprise for me,”.

A 4-0, 3-0, or 3-1 series win will help India qualify for the World Test Championship final and for that Rohit does not want to lose any focus. India will now play the second Test match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
