NEW DELHI: After India’s disappointing loss in Adelaide, former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan addressed the inconsistent form of star batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, emphasising the need for consistent performances. He pointed out that relying on past laurels will only make things more challenging for the duo as they age, even though expectations from them remain unchanged.
Wassan also expressed his view that batting Rohit at number six was a wrong decision. Rohit’s return to cricket was underwhelming, as he managed only single-digit scores in his struggle-filled outings batting at number six. Adding to the woes, India suffered a crushing 10-wicket defeat in the pink-ball Test at Adelaide within three days.
