Rohit Sharma hasn't found his mojo both as a batter and as a captain so far in Australia, struggling to regain his form and get into the thick of things as a skipper. After missing the series opener in Perth, which India won, Rohit is back at the helm but continues to struggle to find his groove. Former Pakistan batter Basit Ali believes the sooner Rohit finds his touch, the better it will be for the visitors, who are struggling to save the pink-ball Test in Adelaide.
Rohit decided to bat in the middle order in Adelaide, allowing the settled opening pair of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal to continue. But neither could the openers repeat their Perth show in the second Test, nor Rohit could do anything of note with the bat.
