NEW DELHI: One of the main problems with Indian cricket, according to former player Sanjay Manjrekar, is that every effort is made to get the best players back into form. He criticized captain Rohit Sharma's choice to open after subpar performances in the middle order.
KL Rahul, the series' top opener, dropped to number three as Rohit returned to his typical opening position following dismal performances in the series at number six, where he only managed 19 runs in three innings. Rohit's time at the crease was brief, though, as he fell to Cummins.
