India's woes in the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy continued to deepen as the visitors once again find their backs to the wall in the Brisbane Test after Rohit Sharma's decision to bowl first at the Gabba backfired and Australia raced to a big first-innings total. Former Pakistan batter Basit Ali believes one of the reasons for the team's inconsistent show so far is because captain Rohit and head coach Gautam Gambhir are not on the same page.
India's bowlers, barring Jasprit Bumrah, once again failed to apply pressure, which allowed Travis Head and Steve Smith to stitch a 241-run partnership and score centuries to put India on the backfoot.
