Questions aplenty for Captain Rohit after unpleasant comeback

Questions abound for Captain Rohit

Rohit Sharma, mistaken for Jasprit Bumrah, sat alone in the dug-out after India's loss in Adelaide. His decisions and bowling changes during the match were questionable, but there were other factors contributing to India's defeat.

The test series between Australia and India have been consistently unpredictable in the last decade. Teams take turns gaining and losing momentum, and the narrative rapidly changes.

In the second Test, India's bowlers and captain were criticized, similar to Australia's situation in Perth. India's performance in the first Test provides some credit, but the Indian team may still face criticism after their loss.

Rohit had only one standout bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, while Australia had Travis Head and Mitch Marsh in the first Test. India's batting has been inconsistent, and their bowling lacks teeth.

The challenge for India is the quick turnaround before the third Test in Brisbane. India's bowlers need to recover, Bumrah must maintain his energy, and the batting group needs consistency. Rohit must find his form and avoid being mistaken for someone else.
